New DACs High End Munich 2023
I think the way to go with my future DAC(s) is FPGA based.   
Maggie LRS amping question
I will be happy with the LRS+ because my room will dictate that I do not get anything bigger. The LRS+ is not bad, I was hoping it would be as good as my RAAL SR1a earphones (read that in a review) but it is not. However, the LRS+ sounds excellent... 
Maggie LRS amping question
Anyone use the Benchmark AHB2 stereo or mono on the LRS (or LRS+).   
Peachtree GaN 1 Beta
On a whim I managed to buy the Magnepan LRS+ from a dealer 2 weeks ago. I have them in my office system. It previously used the KEF LS50 Meta in this system. I still have the LS50 but the LRS+ is on stage now. I even repurchased the KEF KC62 sub ... 
Musetec (LKS) MH-DA005 DAC
When I read that post I was thinking that those guys must have some interesting hearing.   
Monoblock suggestions to compare to SimAudio Moon Neo 400M?
@dynguy The 36 dB of gain is higher than my other amps. How does this effect the sound, ignoring Dirac. Is the volume too high at a low preamp volume setting?  
New to Preamp - Preamp suggestion around 10k
Another much cheaper option is to send the Stax headphone to Mitch Barnett and let him create a convolution filter. https://accuratesound.ca/store/#_filter

If you do not want warmth and want a perfectly silent background, then check out the Holo Serene and Benchmark LA4. I used the HPA4 (same as LA4) with a warm Meze headphones and it was very good. I have not heard the Serene yet but the LA4 is my f... 
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
On second thought, I am going to wait on the LA4 coming back from repairs. I want to test out the modded GAN1 with the Yamaha NS5000 speaker I have coming in the next 2 weeks. If the NS5000 sounds as good as the LRS+ on the GAN1, I should dump th...

I setup the LRS+ this morning in my office, 12 x 11 x 9 with 4 additional feet in the closet where my desk is stuffed. The room is treated, and I think it is sonically in very good shape. I learned over the weekend that my Benchmark LA4 preamp ha... 
Meze Empyrean/Elite new Angled pads. £199 well spent or a total joke.
Meze is a good company and would give them the benefit of the doubt. You likely will find your answer here. Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
The young demographics' excitement with music reproduction is with headphones. Cheaper, easier to get into, and can exceed 2-channel in many ways.

@arafiq I got lucky. When I called the dealer on Monday they said a new delivery was expected the next day. Lucky for me they had an extra unclaimed pair. I will pick them up on Sunday but will only be able to listen on Monday. @jjss49 I sold my ... 
Thinking of Magnepan ... finally!
Got some good news today. My LRS+ is ready for me to pick up. Problem is finding time to make that 1-hour drive. I will have the KEF KC62 sub arriving on Friday. Since I listen for about 15 hours a day in my office these 2 units should get worked...
