I could clearly hear the differences between all the 3 modes too. When I test a new component I always use my HD800, it’s the most sensitive pair...
I fully agree that LYR3 worth a DAC from either at least a Bifrost Multibit or a Gungnir Multibit or a good delta sigma. Recently I acquired a Gustard H20 to fill the...
