Great choice \o/ 

I figure I should check in here too. I got in somewhere near order #50. My current plan is TransDAC > Liquid Carbon > SE Paradox (then, when funds allow, a pair of balanced Slants). I suspect that this setup is going to be incredible for its size and (relatively) low cost.


You literally are planning for the the setup I am using at work.

Wyrd > Ciunas > TransDAC > Carbon (incoming, but might be replaced by Black Widow depending on the comparison) > balanced Paradox Slants

I heard only very minor differences between the SE and XLR outs with Ether, but it might be different with another headphone.

Yep - and I suspect that this will be awesome. I am going back and forth between getting a balanced Slant or a ZMF Vibro/Blackwood though.

That's really good to hear!

Just curious, to those who have experience with the Schitt Mjolnir and have heard the prototype Liquid Carbon, could you comment on their similarities and differences?

Do you guys think the Emotiva Stealth would be a good match for this?

I'd also be very much interested in this comparison, or even to the Rag.

Yes. I will also use the LC with the DC-1.

I look forward to your impressions guys, I was initially gonna go that route but I got a good deal on a vintage r2r dac instead. Just placed my LC preorder earlier :).

Anyone have the chance to listen to the Liquid Carbon with the HD800s?

Of course. What do you want to know? Mine are modded though, so maybe that's not as useful.
