Schiit Bifrost 2. Sounds delightful.

Watched a movie this afternoon. Optical signal coming from TV. Signal does not come hot, and with the attenuator, finished the movie at 1 o'clock on low gain. I never go that far in the volume knob with regular music and without attenuation with my cans. Still, plenty of juice left -- although these Shures are really easy to drive.


Just as another reference, if I watch a movie with the HD800S, optical from TV and without the attenuator, volume knob is around 11 o'clock.

I keep this LGX in a messenger bag and occasionally use it to check if it is still working. And it is. And the best of all, dust-free. :grin:

Hi

I`m trying to connect the Sony TA-ZH1ES (DAC only)to the Liquid Gold x, via the Sony Pre out with RCA cables without any luck
I`m doing something wrong?
Much appreciate any feedback
Thanks!

Make sure select the correct input on the LGX. I think it's marked S for single ended. Also make sure your Tazzy is cracked all the way up. I would also try connecting a different device just to make sure everything is working correctly.

Hi K1030
There is only one RCA input in the LGX which I have used for my turntable via a project phono box ds2 USB whiteout issues
I’ve used the same RCA connection and same cables for the Tazzy (rca line in) also non working
The Tazzy Optica/Coax/usb (line in/ input)are working fine is the last 2 RCA line in and pre out not talking to the LGX
I hope I’m clear (all digital signals are fine) but none of the analog ones are working
Thanks

I`ve managed to connect the turntable to the Tazzy, so it seems an LGX-only issue...

Pre-out is 2V fixed output, not controlled by the volume knob.

Once the Input (S) single-ended is sorted out, the LGX takes over the volume (no problems there! :)

• I have not listened via Liquid Gold X for a while (a move contributed...). Setting the DAC option to C(oaxial), the input option to B(alanced), LGX sounds sublime. Very light sweetness, immense detail, airy & sculpted soundstage, heft & impact in sound delivery.

Doing a great job with the 300-ohm Sennheiser HD-660S2 (which I usually pair with the OTL Woo Audio WA3).

I agree. I'm always bouncing back and forth between my Jot2 and my LGX. The Jot2 is phenomenal for when I want to have a wild rock n roll riot, but I always pull out the LGX when I still want to have a good, high-energy fun time, but with just a touch more delicacy and subtlety

• LGX is also performing magnificently with a headphone which requires amplifier 'effort':
