How are the lcd 1s? Been wanting to get them but am not sure how they would sound like.
The best tldr analogy I can make is that they present very similarly to the LCD-X, but smaller and not quite as technically capable. I have a video up if you'd like some more detailed impressions.

@ngd3
I've done my A/B comparison now, and I concur with much of what has been said.
A01: Smaller soundstage. Thicker notes. Less air. Less separation. Altogether darker tone.
T01: Wider soundstage. Not thin, but airier and cleaner, with more atmosphere. Clearer, more vibrant tone, with a smooth warmth throughout.
With A01, the soundstage gets bigger in single-ended, but it doesn't do much for things like clarity or separation.
I can see T01 being less preferable for bright monitors, because the treble does feel more free and extended. So if your headphone already has too much in the way of high notes, this certainly isn't going to help tame those. While I have yet to try my brightest gear with T01, everything I have tried, even Meze 99 Classics, sounds superior to my ears. And the 99C has brightish treble, but never becomes "too much" with T01.
A01 is still one of the best sounding DAPs I've ever tested. The past month I've favored it above all my other gear. It is simply amazing. But... T01 is just unbelievable. Even for someone like me, who usually prefers warmer DAPs, T01 is more perfectly rounded. It's warm, but not thick. It's liquid, but lacking nothing in transparency. And I always want the biggest soundstage I can get.
PS. T01's soundstage get smaller in single-ended. As is more traditional. A01 is just a freak of nature, I guess.
