I finally pulled the trigger on some LCD-X’s and am in love with these headphones. I am currently running them through a Schiit Stack and it sounds great. Playing with high and low gain is fun too. (Although admittedly not that educated here and would love thoughts on how to optimize listening experience there) I think I am open to start researching more deeply about amps and dacs that would be an upgrade without going insane…1k range probably most of what I’d like to spend.
I have been watching Youtube videos on how to learn how to read amps but feel like a potato with information bouncing off of me. I know the LCD-X’s are relatively easy to drive so I’d like something that has a range of low / high gain options to play around with and give myself more control. (Please tell me if I am woefully misguided here as well. LOL)
This community seems passionate and friendly to new comers like myself and thought I’d pull from the depth of knowledge and perspectives y’all had.
I did the same thing in the past and in the end the Bifrost 2 + RNHP was the best upgrade I could have asked for. The modius will be great in a pinch if you want to save some money (but you’ll want the BF2 longterm).
And yes, the LCD X so easy to drive a Schiit Fulla 3 can drive it competently power wise.
