Audeze Deckard?

So, I have one here with me that I'm not really using. I thought that some members might want to have a listen, so I am offering it to the loaner program. Any interest?

 

Or a Lehmann Black Cube...

 

To be honest I have no idea. I got a good deal from a buddy so I picked it up.

 

If I were eligible, I'd be interested in giving it a listen.

Bob Katz wrote it up at InnerFidelity a while back in Dec. '17. I just rescanned the article and didn't see where he says he favors it for neutrality, but I was intrigued enough to want to check it out before I bought my Jot.

The M-Stage was a BCL clone up until the HPA-3B and HPA-3U. The Deckard is an OEM version of the SE 3U, the 3B is balanced. I've no idea whether the 3x design was derived in some way from the BCL. That's all just based on internal photos and talk here, though.

 

There are differences, but the main core of the project is equal. DAC is different too. I’d say the Deckard is custom made for Audeze’s specs.
