Thanks for the welcome. I live in Germany and I am new to headphones. I listen to all kinds of music, but mostly jazz and classical ā¦
Speaker chain:
Studio monitors (Genelc 8260, with room calibration) digitally fed from an eRed dock (https://www.engineered.ch/products/ered-dock/) and hanging from a clean power source. Control and source are Bubble-Upnp and qobuz. Imho, a fantastic combination. Coherence, timbre of the instruments, spatiality, etc. all incredibly good. The sound detaches itself from the speakers and is simply there, you forget the speakers and wonder why there are any at all. What impresses me most is the feeling of being āin the musicā, or at least very close to it. The authenticity of timbre is also close to what I remember from my active orchestra days.
Headphones:
At home: RME-ADI-2 DAC with ???
Mobile: Earmen Sparrow + FiiO FD5
So far I have heard: HD560, HD660, Focal Elear, Focal Clear and also LCD-X. All as B-stock with sufficient playing time. All very good headphones but the clear winner for me is the LCD-X (2021). I really like it and it comes closest to what Iām looking for. Now I was still hoping to find all this in closed form in the LCD-XC. I received it last week and have been comparing X with XC for 3 days. I can return both until the end of the week ā¦
Looking forward to some input and want to thank you for posting all this helpful information on here.
Greetings, Stefan

Hi all,
Thanks for the warm welcome! Iām just now getting back into the headphone realm after 20+ years away.
Iāve kinda gone āmid-fi hog wildā purchasing a ton of gear in the past 120 days.
I look forward to reading everyoneās posts and learning from you guys.

Hey everyone, Tom here, from sunny Scotland (Joking - we all know Scotland isnāt sunny! 
),
I love music, listening, talking, touching (sounds creepy), bass and everything that is a sound frequency, after-all, thatās what we all are really - waves!
Talking about waves, I also love to surf, YES, even in -5 degrees, love it!!
I have a general interest in headphones and use them daily, aspiring to be an Audiophile.
Trying to figure out life and how to love unconditionally!
Peace,
Tom

Hey yāall. I am from S. Carolina. I love music - pretty much everything except Opera and Newer country.
My favorite DACs I currently have include the Schiit Gungnir Multibit [A2] and the new Topping D70s [the best DS DAC I have heard.]
For amps, I am loving my Schiit Jotunheim 2 and Monoprice Cavalli Liquid Platinum. I have also been considering the Singxer SA-1 [if anyone has one for sale, please let me know!].
My most used headphones include a Focal Clear Pro OG and HiFiMAN HE6SE v1 for open backs and a Focal Elegia and a āDMT moddedā Denon AH-D7200 for closed backs. I am new to the forum, but have lurked here for a while before recently creating an account to ask questions and advice.
Be Well and God Bless! Cheers.
