Just a suggestion of something different to consider if the Lyr cannot be resurrected. The Schiit Audio Magnius is an affordable balanced headphone amplifier and preamplifier offering up to 6.0W RMS per channel. If it were to have a problem - other than replacing a tube, rarely in this application - it could be easily repaired. They are CNC machined out of real, unstained hardwood. You have the choice between walnut and black-dyed hardwood.
SCHIIT STACK REVIEW PRO
Thanks I'll look into the Fiio k5 pro but the schiit stack just looks so good hahaha. The Snake Oil Sound Hardwood 'Mini-Link' Interconnect for a Modi and Magni/Vali stack is a slick alternative to RCA interconnect cables. The 1990 impedance raises well above this at certain frequencies. Recommended headphone impedance Will drive any headphone from 20 to 600 ohms impedanceĭimensions 12″ deep x 7″ wide x 5.5″ high This version is not compatible with the new 2022 Magni+, for a compatible Mini-Link click HERE. Maximum output- 7 volts rms into 30 ohms or higher loadĭistortion- less than. Well, we must have done some good Schiit, because our desk has. Output type- transformer coupled single ended class A triode 9 Overall About a year ago we reviewed the amusingly named Schiit Hel, a gaming-focused combo DAC/AMP with a microphone input. As far as an amp to recommend - since you had a tube in the Lyr 3 - have you looked at the Quicksilver headphone amp? Specs from Quicksilver site below. They both cost US 99 plus shipping from Schiit. Why didn't that happen? Also, were you happy with the sound before failure of the amp? If you were happy it would seem ill advised to ditch a $700 DAC that works fine. This is a review, detailed measurements and comparison of Schiit Magni 3+ and Heresy Headphone Amplifiers. I would expect Schiit to fix it under warranty. Out if curiosity - the Lyr 3 is a relatively new product with a 5 year warranty.
