  Only comment I saw from Jason indicated something that was not a product, coming in 2017. I dont see how withholding a dac purchase makes sense with that comment. 

 
Something that is not a product?
 
They're going to be starting a clothing lines?
 
Making an album?
 
Staging a Broadway show?

I hope the 2017 "not a product" isn't the long-awaited launch of their audiophile line of perfumes. Despite Jason & Mike's track record of innovation, I just don't think they should go there.

Nobody wants to smell like an audiophile.

Audiophile Cologne: "O de Lectron". The acrid smell of melting plastic jacketing over copper /or silver wires.

In the EU, Joti's been on backorder for a month and will continue so for a few more weeks, according to the distributor :frowning2:

  I am planning to get Jot along with LCD X. Any thoughts? 


I'm planning to get that combo as well. I demoed the X's through a Deckard though, but it sounds amazing!
 
I may be going for de first version of the X's with a thicker diaphragm. I was told that the Ember II is a great pairing as well.

Finally something sensible :)
I have demoed the whole LCD line and liked X the best I demoed it with my own amp Canor TP10 and it was great but unfortunately I had to sell my whole equipment. Now I am back again in market. I am interested in Jot because of balanced output. On Monday I have an appointment for the demo of LCD X. Then I will finally decide. Got no idea about sound of Jot though. Online reviews are mixed bag.

I didn't read anything specific about X's with the Jot, but I think it can't be a bad pairing. I was also thinking getting Mimby + Ember II. But Jot has balanced out and preouts, I like its versatility.
 
However I don't think the X's need the power of the balanced Jot to shine, they are very efficient.

Haven't tried a Jot yet but did try the whole LCD line, X is okay but not worth the premium over the 2 IMO unless you are using lower powered gear or just don't want to deal with DACs and amps then its a great headphone in that situation.  Like @CarlosUnchained noted I think the Jot is overkill for the X unless you have other less efficient headphones that you will be using with the Jot.

Balanced out is the only thing that got in interested in Jot. I have LG V10 for the moment. I have to read about Ember ii as I never heard about it.
