Got a little listening time with the Triadaudio L3 w/Pics aka Lisa3 Lite
My quick impression:
The bass is more prominent even with the bass contours down on both the Lisa's, slight roll off near the top, Phil mentioned this is to accommodate IEMs, but your highs are there even more so, and you better have a fantastic source, right off the bat i noticed even more detail than the Lisa, crisper, not as smeared, slightly brighter, it incorporates some of the mods done to the desktop Lisa RS into a smaller package, so this is not simply a lisa rehash. I managed to compare it to my modded lisa (not pictured) which has same modifications, and they sound almost exactly alike, the only difference i could detect was the flavoring the capacitors, oscons in mine, the sound was the slight difference that I noticed when I moved from nichicon to oscons caps with the prototype I have, oscons are stock on the standard lisa pictured on the right in the first pic. Theres also a nice little HI LOW gain switch in the back, i set it to low for my ETY4P's and it was dead quiet no hiss at all, hi for the Senn 580s, most of my listening was done through the Senn's, but the ETY's were no slouch, almost as punchy and just about as detailed as the full sized phones. Anyways that's it for right now.
