on sale for $400 you say, why do I want to buy this device I don't even need!!!!

 

[goldendarko]

I still see it as $550 on Amazon, where is it on sale for $400?

 

[goldendarko]

Nevermind, found it at Adorama. Damn, I thought this thing was a serious value buy at $550, I couldn't resist pulling the trigger on it at $400. Kind of curious if it can power my new LCD-4 on Turbo mode. If so that will be some fun vacations this summer bringing my LCD-4 & iDSD BL on the road with me. Pretty crazy how good portable sound quality has gotten.

$400??

Gotta love the US market. I paid 599 EUR for mine and that was the cheapest I could find here in this corner of Europe.
That's $648 at today's rate. Hmph.

I still think even 600ish is fair for this thing, it's just that handy

Have to agree. Been using it a lot with the HD800/Z1R/Andromeda and handles all three fine. I can see this thing managing an LCD-4 easily.

Well it's able to drive the he4 pretty dang well so I'd assume the lcd4 should workout nicely

Powers the HE500 and the LCD-2 perfectly.

These are silly statements. On paper, many things should be able to power the LCD4. In practice, it needs a heap of power and I'd be reticent to say anything adequately powers the LCD4 without having a field test. Let @goldendarko try powering the LCD4 then report back. It would be folly to assume anything about this and the LCD4. I found that the the iCAN SE got sufficient volume with the HE-6, but not sufficient sound quality. Just because the watts are enough on paper doesn't mean the amp does an adequate job.

The he4 is not easy to drive in order to sound full. It needs ample clean power. That's why I said that, no need to get rude here.

Agreed, a lot of times paper stats looks better than they actually perform. That being said, when I reviewed the BL I found it powered the HE1000 sufficiently (didn't even need the Turbo setting) The LCD-4 is harder to drive so it will definitely require the Turbo setting but we will see how it performs for sure with the LCD-4 when I get the BL.
