Dang, wish I could be there for the LCD-2 vs. HE-6 showdown. Y'all come back on Dec. 9, y'hear?
I wish I spent a little more time with the Lyr/Bifrost. I'll probably ask Jim if I can borrow them later to write my review against the Nuforce stuff. It was nice being able to feed both dacs simultaneously from the same source though, which takes out one variable.
What I want to do is feed both dacs from the digital converter, then route them both into the HAP-100. That way I can flip back and forth quickly while listening on the same headphone. To my ear, differences in dacs are extremely small, so this will make the comparison much more palpable.
I found it difficult to get a sense of the comparative performance of the amps since the Nuforce stuff is meant for high impedance cans. I don't remember if I ran my Sextetts through the Lyr, though I remember liking the HD25-13 on it.
