Not sure if anyone really goes through this but it's something that kind of irritates me. Now, currently I've done no prior experiments to even test or try anything I just end up pointing my cell phone at it to see where the volume knob is at.  My Question is does anyone else deal with this in...

Hello, i'm new, sorry for my language.   I read lot of threads but i'm very very confused.   Schiit Lyr, Burson Audio, woo audio, rsa, Alo.... what's the best for them?   I like neutral sound without any coloration, transparency and soundstage, maybe a little warmth would not hurt... i...

Hi all!   I took the plunge and bought an HE-500. Now I'm going to have to deal with getting a proper DAC and Amp for the headphones (as I have nothing decent apart from a few portable players).   My budget is $1000-$1500 all-in. I would like to add that I will consider speaker amps, but I...

Hello All,   I've done myself in and purchased an LCD2 from Audeze this Black Friday. For the past 3 days I've been searching on HF and Google regarding what is the best pairing for the LCD2 and an amplifier. I want to choose an amp that will give me the most optimal bass quality, quantity...

I dont know so much about amps and dacs, or headphones at that. But I'm entering the audiophile culture through the Alpha dogs! I would like to know what a good amp/dac combo (for desktop) would be, nothing expensive if possible! Maybe 2 in 1 if possible! Thanks in advance!

Today I fired up my system, threw on my headphones for once, and was rudely surprised by a nasty high pitch squeal from the left channel. The squeal is inconsistent but very frequent. I went through the painstaking process of eliminating every single piece of equipment to narrow the source of...

I'm getting LCD2s and D7ks and don't want to have to get 2 amps,so would an impedance adapter on the D7ks make them compatible with the lyr without sacrificing sound quality? Or would i be better off getting the asgard...

I am getting D7ks and LCD2s later this year and have been looking at amps. The lyr is said to be amazing with the LCD2s,but won't work with the D7ks because of the power of the lyr. Can that be safely (not sacrificing sound quality) changed with an impedance adapter? Thanks in advance.

It seems even with fairly expensive tube amps the first thing you hear when contemplating buying one is, it sounds pretty good, but you really have to replace the tubes to get the really good sound it is capable of. Excuse me but buying a $700 amp and then having to spend another $100-$200 on...

I made a promise to myself last night to get serious with my audio. I have some M-100s and MG7s,but i've been drooling over the LCD2s for like a year,but those aren't the only cans i will be using on my Lyr. I'll be getting the D7ks,Pro 900s,XB1000s,MAYBE the LCD3s,and other cans with a...

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has really had a chance to review the new Project Ember amp from Garage1217 and how it stacks up against the Schiit Lyr?  Reading previous reviews/comparisons of the Project Sunrise II vs Lyr seemed very promising for the Sunrise II - especially given the much...

Hey everyone, I had a question about amps to go with my 650's. I've had the 650's for a little while now, and I love them. I think they were worth every penny. I've been driving them with the e7/e9 combo, and while I really enjoy the sound, I feel like I'm not letting my 650's live up to their...

Wondering if anyone has ever had the chance to compare these two amps and if so your impressions, which did you prefer and why.

Has anyone compared the Woo Audio WA7 vs. the Schiit LYR.   I own a Schiit Bitfrost and Asgard SS comboI with HE-500s and Grado PS500s.  I would like to add a tube amp and am considering WA7 or the LYR.

Greetings,   I'm just starting into the whole earphone experience. I have Hifiman HE-400 and Sennheiser  hd558. I'm driving them from a modi/magni combo, but I'd like to try the "tube" sound. I can see a number of interesting tube hybrid amps out there, but I'm having difficulty picking one...

Hey guys    I been interested in upgrading my amp from a solid state to tube amp. I am currently running an e7+e9 combo with a pair of shure 1440. I been doing research and finally listed came down to two final items, the schiit lyr and qinpu a-6000mkll. Does anyone have any suggestions...

I previously owned the Lyr and I thought it was great but want to get more out of my LCD-2's would the Pan Am be an upgrade or a step sideways?   Any other recommendations would be nice. I was also considering the Decware CSP2+ and the Taboo MKIII. The Taboo MKIII is kind of above my budget...

After much deliberation, I've decided on a pair of HiFiman HE-400s and I'm in need of an Amp for them. I also intend on upgrading headphones much later on to maybe some HD-800s or LCD-2s. I'm almost set on ordering the Lyr and getting a Bifrost later on for them but I stumbled on the Project...

Gentlemen! I've been reading the forums for months regarding amps, dacs, k702/q701, and k550s. I have this illogical devotion to AKG, due to my previous AKG headphones, and have trouble deciding between two different type of headphones. I recently received a cash bonus from work so I have the...

Hi,   I have liked headphones for most of my life but always had cheap models. I finally got my taste of good earphones a few months ago with an entry level Grado and B&W P5. I have now decided to invest in an amplifier and a DAC . currently using NuForce portable USB amp.   Problem is -...

What would the general consensus be on these two fine phones? Currently I have the Beyer DT990/600 and a Headroom micro amp/dac which is just ok but definitely tons of room for improvement. I feel like these cans are just under-powered and really want to upgrade to one of the above headphones...

Can anyone help me out with a comparison between the various available tube/solid state hybrid amps that are available?   I really like tubes, I also want to be able to drive all types of headphones. Hybrid amps seem to be the best option here.   I have a schitt lyr on the way. The...

Hi guys,   I am going to invest in some decent amp and still can't decide whether to buy Lyr or WA6.    I'am using mainly HD650,HE-400,Grado SR225i,Shure SRH940 ... in future maybe planning something like LCD2/HE-500/Denon D7100   What would u pick and why ? Thanks, any opinion is...

Just ordered the Lyr to pair with my D7000, and probably the HE-4. I'm either gonna temporarily use the Fiio E7 (once the L7 line out connector is released) until I get a higher end DAC, or buy the UDAC2 as a temporary solution until Schiit releases their DAC. I'm leaning on doing both for now...

Hi all   I just got myself a k702, very nice build headphones, but with my RSA preditor, it sounds terrible, looks like the preditor suit IEMs better.    I'm search a lot these days and finally cut shorten my list to these two. X-can V8 and Schiit Lyr   One thing that I'm concern...
