This amp has about 5 times the power of a standard dynalo and I can say with authority that it will definitely drive the he6 to painfully loud levels.

Don't know about the lcd4x because I don't own one of those. But 15 ohms should be no problem for this amplifier.

I'll be getting a modded HE-6 this week (LFF Code-6), this is going to be fun. The only other amp I've used the HE-6 with is the GS-X Mk2 though that was a stock HE-6, and the combo was great.

- EDIT: The amp seems to drive the HE-6 fine as expected. I typically have the volume at about 2 o'clock.

The detail retrieval, imaging, and mids are spectacular with this setup. Treble is not forward at all and mostly pretty clear but with some flaws (this is the Code-6, one of the mod's main goals was to tame the treble).

Yes, this thread needs more pictures..

What a turn of events. I'm selling mine now if anyone is interested, because thanks to the Stax SR-009 and excellent electrostatic amplifiers, I no longer need non-portable dynamic headphone gear.

When using this with a DAC with balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA outputs, I immediately noticed a shocking difference in the sound quality. While the BiPolar will “convert” unbalanced source signals, its magic is in what it can do with a higher level differential signal. It is pure magic. Bar none, the best sounding headphone amplifier I have ever heard.

If Birgir were to release one with:
- A second pair of balanced differential inputs switched by an A/B source selector on the front
- An output selector switch that would choose between the balanced headphone outs and the XLR Pre-outs for driving an external amp
...I’d make a Pure BiPolar the Pre-Amp heart of my home system without hesitating!

So does that mean that this is not a good amp to pair with the CHORD DAVE since the DAVE does not have balanced output??

Has anyone compared this amp to the one in
QUESTYLE CMA TWELVE DAC HEADPHONE AMP?

This Mjolnir amp is very intriguing. Has anyone ever seen specs or measurements for it that they can share? The blurb on the website seems to be all I can find on the amp.

Does anyone have one of the newer ones to compare with the previous versions?
