By the time I order in late November, I will likely have many more designs configured by then. The upper left one was the one I was targeting since I ordered my Legend X in June / July. Since my Legend X is black and white with the glacier swirl, I will likely go with top left or bottom right.

ah, I was gonna vote for bottom left, but forgot that that's similar to your Legends—in that case, i vote bottom right.

(I'm still a huge fan of my abalone + clear... :eyes:)

True about my Legend X.

Does anyone have experience with the LX running on es100? Balanced vs single ended? Sorry if this has been discussed before here. I just got the LX but I’m not very keen on spending $1K on a dap. Mostly gonna use with es100 or dragonfly red and cobalt with Tidal. I’m a missing out on much?

I haven't heard high-end DAPs, but the ES100 has more than enough power and a ~.5ohm OI running balanced. My setup is exactly what you're suggesting: Tidal -> ES100 -> LX (balanced), and it's excellent.

So pretty. :ksc75smile:

edit: with the couple hours using it, it feels like a "Mini LX".

That is why I want the Phantom, since I already have the Legend X. Don’t need a mini to go with it. I think the Phantom is more different from Legend X than Valkyrie, which I hear sounds like it is between the Phantom and Legend X.

I know the price can be a stopper, but what about the Wraith?

I think the Estat drivers are a no way back, from the ones I heard they came to add (when well implemented).

I set my IEM limit at $2000, which was the Legend X on sale. If I don’t set limits, I would end up not investing as much into retirement.
