Rudi, What are you getting from the Intruder that the HP-P1 amp is not providing?

Hi Sara

Thank you Sara

Rudi, what does right angle mean for LCD 2 ? Always a pleasure to see your rigs!

The latest batch LCD 2 rev , the connector has the same like lcd 3 in right angle connector

It is better I called LCD 2 rev 3

 

[rudi0504]

thought the lcd is open back!?

You are right LCD 2 is open back headphone

The fostex hp p1 has very good dac section , if you drive full cans like LCD 2 rev 2 , the power from fostex hp p1 has not enough power .
From Intruder I can get better power in high gain for driving my LCD 2 rev 2.
The amp section from Intruder is better than from Fostex hp p 1
As everybody know fostex hp p1 amp is good to drive iems not to drive headphone with high impedance .

I've heard the LCD-2 with the CLAS and an ALO amp (can't recall which one). It sounds wonderful.

A portable system is simply one you carry around with you, not necessarily a system you listen to in public spaces or while on foot.

Almost the only place I listen to my system is while sitting at desks, but I have to move between offices often enough that there's no point to having a desktop system. So I have a little suitcase with all my portable kit; the whole assembly (three amps, two custom IEMs, one iPod, and a partridge in a pear tree) takes up less space than one of my desktop headphone amps, and I carry it around in my office bag. Setup and teardown takes less than a minute when nothing's been recharging.

As I have already posted in last section part XV, I put my portable rig in pelican case number. 1050.

The best sounding LCD 2 rev 2 and LCD 3 are with my first set up : Alo Rx 3 B + Alo class solo + iPhone 4 S

Thanks for the answer Rudi.
 
Ahhhh......I am really tempted to get a pair. If I get serious I'll write Ray to ask if the RSA Hornet (I have) will drive them satisfactorily.

Nice system, but I'm curious why you are using an external DAC with an amp with a DAC.

 
This is because i wanted to have a portable setup that had 24/192 capability through usb while i'm at home with my comp and good quality sound for portable use outside with apple devices that charges them for a long time serving as media server.
 
Also The Intruder only supports 16/44 natively with the DAC chip inside. The Intruder has a capable amp section to serve as my main amp for my orthos.

Yet Ray got promotion for the Intruder you pay only $ 650 Usd , the same price like Rs 71 B.

I have RS 71 B , but the Intuder has better sound quality compare to RS 71 B, more detail and clarity , and at the high gain from 21 DB you have plenty of power to drive your LCD 2
My RS 71 B has the high gain only 11 DB .

 

[nc8000]

The SR71-B is perfectly capable of driving my HE-500 nicely in balanced mode

 

[Staal]

Yes, I believe the only difference in gain settings is that the Intruder is supposedly able to drive the HE-6. The SR71-B should be able to drive most other headphones.

Sound Quality between Intruder and RS 71 B has some diffrerent :

High : My RS 71 B more Crips because Already burn In about 300 Hours
My Intruder just burn In less than 30 Hours

Mid : Out The box Intruder more sweet , more Body and Clear compare to My RS 71 B

Bass : Intruder more full Body bass m specially In High Gain to drive LCD 2 rev 2 and
Sennheiser HD 800.

Soundstage : Intruder has more 3 D soundstage

Separation : Intruder has Better separation between The instrumen and Singer , i can
Hear more Clear

Power : in low and mid gain has the same power
In high gain intruder has more power than rs 71 b

 

[Staal]

That was my point exactly. I wasn't commenting on the sonic differences as I have never owned the SR71B.

 

[longbowbbs]

Sounds like you have another winner in the collection Rudi! Do you prefer the HP-P1 DAC?

 

[Turrican2]

My Gym rig, does get me some funny looks, mostly from people with white earbuds attached to their ears
 
The amp is something I picked up a few years back, it's a Texas Instruments chipset, not sure of the details.  Certainly brings the Atrios (MG7) I use at the gym to life! Sansaa Clip+ is rockboxed, of course, great little player.  It looks a little ghetto but sounds fantastic.

Nice little rig! The connect cable looks to be more expensive than the gear.
