Up to now, I was thinking the LCD-X's were a bit of a sham. I was not impressed with them whatsoever. Now these things ROCK! Holy smokes!!!

I had the LCD-X for a short time.
Did it need an amp? Sort of, but I'm sure they can be driven from most devices.
I tell you what won't work well, ipod or iphone. You'll ok sound from a portable device, but you'll still be disappointed. These may be easy to drive, but not so easy that you can drive it from your iphone.

A low powered headphone amp will power LCD-X fine, but a notoriously hard to drive headphone can not. Susvara is considered hard to drive, and alleged that most headphone amps can not drive them well at all.

I returned the LCD-X due to a defect. I still liked them when I returned them, but I was bummed over the defect and they weren't as easy to power from a portable device. I didn't want to invest in amps at the time. It would probably be ok on a TOTL DAP though. I'm considering LCD-4Z, but I just got some 64 audio A18T on sale recently.

You can tube roll a bit with the Mjolnir2. 6BZ7 Tubes are fairly inexpensive.

I have a Mjolnir 2 and LCD-X too. It’s a nice combo.

I have the original Mjolnir - recently got the Focal Utopia cans and was comparing it being driven by the Mjolnir vs the Oppo 205's headphone output. I actually preferred the Oppo 205. It's a real masterpiece.. the functionality and SQ is just top notch

Hey, All,

I have a new set of Audeze Fazor LCD-XC on the way (So excited!!).

Here’s my current setup: https://imgur.com/a/kVNh4UN

Could you kindly tell me if the amps I have will be able to properly drive my new cans? I just want to be sure.

Thank you in advance!!
