    That's be an Auteur, then? Been wanting to demo one for ages, impressions leave me giddy, haha. Whatever it is, congrats on the acquisition, and hope to hear about it!

    Yes, the Auteur in Teak. Impressions here (and elsewhere) drove me towards it instead of the Clear. Zach has been very responsive, now fingers crossed. Could be the one to build a system around.

    Awesome! The Auteur's my personal endgame target as well thanks to others' input (Blackwood if I'm lucky), but no one I know local owns one to demo, haha. Happy system building!

    I loved the Lyr 3 for what it did. Its a great allrounder and a versatile amp that works well with both DDs and Planars. While it does help headphones scale well based on the upstream gear, IMO, it doesn't help unravel the hidden potential of the High-Z DD HPs.

    Big Boy amp upgrade will need to wait till next year. This tapped out my audio budget, might need to let go of LCD2C.
