The amp likes to warm up !.. I realized this as soon as I powered the beast up, give it a good 10 minutes to reach temperature before listening to some music, its odd but the hotter this puppy runs the better it sounds.
Okay here we go, this amp has plenty of ooomph to drive any of the LCD series on low gain it drives my LCD3's to nice and loud by 1pm on the clock ( and yes I do listen at 2pm most the time ) the sound is warm, lush, and extremely detailed, the extra detail was what struck me when I swapped over to it, I was hearing things that my other amps were missing, its quite astonishing that my attention was drawn to the detail with the LCD3's rather than the Bass and beautiful Mids, but there it is, detailed highs.
It has a good sound stage certainly improved on the Solo which was already better in that regard than the Beyer A1 anyway. The Deckard creates a believable picture of the music, good depth, reality, Instruments sound like the should, but it doesn't over emphasize any part of the music, its almost if the amplifier was designed to compliment the Audeze Sound, just bringing together music in a believable way that is so musical, one finds oneself listening to album after album addictive even.
This is a resolving amplifier, I could see it being a bad match for some headphones, overly bright headphones may find this detail a little overpowering, the slightly laid back highs of the Audeze sound really gel with the Deckard, both my LCD headphones benefiting from the partnership.
It has a great sense of PRAT , separation is great, I listen to mainly rock, female vocals and acoustic material which suit the Audeze sound anyway, so any improvement in definition is welcomed.
As I am writing this I am listening to some Alan Parsons Project and hearing things in the mix that have eluded me in the past.
got maybe 40 hours on it so far and it is still improving so I think a long burn in is going to be the order of the day, only concern is how hot the top of this Class A amplifier is getting !!!! its to hot to hold your hand on it !!!!
I would say that the LCD2 is the better partner over all so far with the amplifier, it just brings out the best in it, having said that I have the LCD3's on my head LOL
