New addition, the Lyr 3 w/ Multibit powering my Beyerdynamic Amiron Home and my modded Beyerdynamic DT 480 - 25 Ohm.

Just a few combinations to play with. I definitely won't get bored this weekend. All my comparisons will culminate in a Pro-iCan review in a few weeks. The iCan and the iDSD are for loan, the rest is mine but I will keep only one amp.

Edit: additional picture

Well guys i enjoy a great set of cans being that i live in a condo. I feel the headphones are more intimate and eliminate the acoustic properties of a room. Not that i don't enjoy my B&Ws with my VTL S-400 amp but each has it's place in my living quarters. In a condo late nights don't work with speakers. I have a Violectric V281 and the new Manley Absolute amp. Both are great IMHO. I'm currently using Hifiman HE1000V2 but ordered a pair of Meze Empyrean's from ViolectricUSA. Arthur says they are coming into stock in a week so i pre-ordered since he's only getting 8 pairs intially. I've read good things about these cans and Headfonia calls them the new King of Cans. Any opinions out there from anyone that has heard them.
I'm using an EMM Labs DA2 DAC from Ed Meitner so my source is top gun... I'll report back once i get them in a few weeks. I bought them without first hearing them just because of a few friends that heard them at a show. Hope they are truly the new King of Cans. Tired of giving my money to Dr Wong at HifiMan especially when he picks selling price not on R&D and cost of materials but based on "what he thinks he can charge"
BTW, the new Manley Absolute can amp is incredible. just sayiń

It seems challenging.

how does the woo wa22 compare to the bryston. I have a bryston but have a chance to get a wa22 for a good deal

The Woo is of course more 'tubey' but less so than other tube amplifiers. It makes all vocals/instruments very holographic/3-D like(something I am looking for...)and esp. vocals are rendered with lots of timbre/emotion.
The Bryston just amplifies the signal and is totally uncoloured...in other words it can be dull at times and sort of flat( not much depth in the soundstage or holographic qualities).
I prefer the Taurus to the Bryston but Woo is my 'darling' and it looks good too.

Trying to organize my setup in the new appartement ( which is much smaller than before because of moving to a big City).

How do you like your Border Patrol DAC? I’ve been looking to upgrade and it’s on my short list.

My first foray into the world of head-fi. So far I'm pretty pleased, but there's plenty of room to grow.
