hello Dx3 pro + owners and Modi3/heresy ex-owners or vice-versa, I just bought an Audeze LCD 2 Fazor and I'm looking to buy my first dac/headphone amp. What do you recommend go for the DX3 or for the stack? space is not a issue. I honestly prefer the looks of the stack, but will go for the quality.
If you are in the USA and can try both options and return them if you arent satisfied that could be a good option.
If you live outside the USA, my opinion dx3 pro+ is the better option.
Regarding the power requierements, the LCD2 is a very sensitive unit, you dont really need a lot of power and most likely the dx3pro+ has enough power to drive them loud, even with EQ (which you will need).
You could also buy the L50 with the apple dongle and save for a dac, D10B is relatively inexpensive.
And if you live in the USA you could also buy the SMSL SP200 amp on drop for 140$, it gets regularly offered at that price, and do the same strat with the apple dongle dac.
But with both of the latter options you sacrifice common aesthetics in pro of bang for the buck performance.
