LCD3 with Lyr?

Does anyone of you know if the Lyr does the LCD3 justice? Does it run the LCD3 to its full potential? Or should I buy another headphone, such as??? Please help! And if it does run the LCD3 good then what tubes should I upgrade to?

THANKS!

FWIW I have the original Lyr. Subsequent Lyrs were modified slightly IIRC so you may have better luck pairing the Lyr with the LCD3.

Thank you Doggie,

I have a Bifrost Uber with USB upgrade, can I just use that or must I get the Gungnir? I do not understand what balanced things are and they confuse the hell out of me lol. please help!

Balanced connections use 3 pins for the signal +, - and ground. Doing so provides better noise rejection. Theoretically this should only benefit longer runs but even for incredibly short runs like headphones, there's a noticeable benefit.

RCA cables only have 2 (positive and ground).

If you are using the Lyr, the Bifrost is the matching DAC from Schiit. Both are RCA only.
