Mind you, that’s for a pair of let’s just call them “Alexias”. A pair of XLFs will set you back $210k; the just announced (@ Denver’s Rocky Mountain Audiofest 2014) and all new Sabrina will set you back whatever the price will be when it’s officially announced, though it will be a great opportunity”
Audeze LCD-XC Review

“This is the most balanced sounding Audeze headphone and one without emphasis on bass quantity, but instead a direct focus on bass quality, although there is midrange forwardness and a high level of immersive qualities. I find it pristine in cleanliness, immensely satisfying in lushness and smoothness without being potent on the slam effect.”

“Listening farther away from the speakers than I was used to took some adjustment at first, but imaging proved to be pinpoint in its placement, both side to side and front to back. The speakers layered the soundstage especially well, though this will have something to do with placement within the room.”

“But it’s not. And, as much as I love the Earsonics’s attention to detail when it comes to describing their vision in sound, I wish they paid the same attention to the little things. You know, wash the cup on both the inside and outside”
Hidizs AP100 DAP – Review

“The overall signature is a little laid back, a little to the warmer side of sound but with exceptional detail. It has a pleasant fullness to the sound, but unlike the Fiio X3 this does not lead to less clarity. Playing with the SRC settings on the AP100 also gives a little more body to the sound, which can greatly help depending on the headphones being used. The stereo image blends perfectly, I cannot hint at any imbalance and it is a very natural sounding player.”
Emotiva XPS-1 Phono Preamplifier Review

“There were only two things I didn’t like about the physical design of the XPS-1. One was having the inputs and outputs on opposite sides of the case. This required me to curve one set of interconnects for my particular setup. I also thought the power indicator was unnecessarily bright.”

“The headphone, hand-tuned with precision, features specially 24K-tuned version of Monster’s signature audio Pure Monster Sound, hand tuned by “Head Monster” Noel Lee, utilizing advanced technology, with tight, deep bass that gets users as close to the sound as possible–unmatched in clarity and depth.”

Quad PA-One Headphone Amplifier Review

” The Quad had no problem in resolution with Hozier’s guitar always being well focused and providing the typical electroacoustic timbre. At the same time the PA-One managed to hide some of the nastier passages, taking away the edges from the recording but leaving all the “air” intact. For comparison reasons I used the similarly priced Burson Conductor (headphone amplifier and 24-bit/192kHz DAC) in the latest iteration with the CMedia receiver connected with a second identical USB cable to my coptuer.
