In reply to DrT. Sadly my LCD-X is the original but it is better than that version for sure.

In reply to Marcus. But is it $3000 better? I have the 2021 LCD-X and I'm wondering if I should consider selling some cans for the LCD-5.

In reply to Orr. Maybe the ihA-5 purely in terms of power but it is quite a clean-sounding amplifier so I would pair it with a nice warm or beefy sounding DAC behind it. Try the Rupert Neve RNHP or the Monoprice Platinum, both nice punchy amps with a natural to a slightly warm tone that I like with the stock LCD-5 tuning.

What about cheaper dac and amps? Any recommendations? Cayin maybe?

In reply to Tim Walter. We could have picked 1000's we picked 3 of our highest scoring planar headphones of a relatively similar price and positioning to compare with.

Unbelievably, there is no comparison to the amazing Focal Utopias? Why? Even after several years, they are still amazing headphones!

In reply to Prio. I don't have the 2021 X version and it s certainly a lot better than the previous X's from years ago. It is $3k more expensive, you know that right? :)
