Hello everyone,
I've read through as much of this thread as I can, and some others at AudioScienceReview and SuperBestAudioFriends, but I'm still having a hard time deciding between the Jotunheim 2 and the Lyr+, specifically for pairing with the Sennheiser HD800s. In either case, I'd be running off a Modius DAC. A bifrost is out of the picture for me, financially.
A lot of people have a lot of good things to say about the Jot 2, and it's certainly a lot cheaper. I'm wondering what the Lyr really gets me, since its tube mode is not very tubey, and its SS mode is still heating the tube anyway.
Detail and clarity are the most important aspects of music to me. I want no veiling, no muffling. That's the whole reason I bought the HD800s to upgrade from my 6XX.
