So how would this compare to K702 with dedicated sound card? Better overall sound in terms of fun/enjoyment for games/movies/general use for both PC and console due to bass and being planar but not as good for surround/positional tracking compared to dolby/cmss/etc? Because you can't really...

How many of you just leave their amps on all the time? I have mine in proper ventilation and I usually leave my solid state amps on all the time but this is the most expensive one I've purchased so just wanted to check.

Sweet. I love the darker presentation of my pre fazor LCD-2. Mine should arrive today pending any issues with Fedex but I'm out of town all weekend and don't have my GS-X mk2 set up at the moment (rearranging things in the house). Gah!

  Sorry for the delayed response. I'm guessing I got in really early when they stopped orders. I'd trust the vendor unless proven otherwise.

FWIW, I ordered mine on 13JAN and haven't received any shipping info so I'm guessing they are halting shipments until they are done.

It would be great to hear the impressions here as well. I'm looking at the LCD-4 once some more impressions come in and already have the GS-X mk2. Have to know about the bass so I can compare it to the LCD-2. If the bass is on par, I know the rest will be. I'm not a huge bass head but I like the...

  Mine does it too. Pretty sure I'll never get to the end but my perfectionist thinks it's a bit odd that there aren't markers all the way around when the pot moves almost 360 degrees.

Yep. Yggdrasil and the Bryston BDA-2 have been options number 1 and 2 on my radar, though in no particular order.

Interesting. You're right in that there doesn't seem to be much on head-fi about it. I really like the 30 day trial. That one might be on my short list thanks to the 30 day trial! I will definitely check it out once the time is right for me to purchase. Thanks!

The M1 might be a little rich for my blood. Was looking to keep it no more than the GS-X cost, so somewhere in the 3k USD range or less while still being end game. I don't plan on upgrading from a system that costs 6 grand total (hence why I'm looking for a quality but not over the top DAC) and...

Tomorrow for me. It helps that I'm 3.5 hours drive away from HeadAmp. Probably should have just driven to get it :P   Best time to get it is right before the weekend!!    Can't wait!   Now to find a dac...

Too bad they are all leather free models as well. I just prefer the leather. Doubt we will see another $999 XC for a while if ever.

^ Free ship on this one.   Also, paypal is using old conversion rates so it is just over $50. Use CC itself.

Good call.
