I gotta say, the massdrop stack is getting prettier with each new piece of hardware...
Basically everything is connected to the Aune X1S in this pic. While the LCX is also connected to the fostex via xlr :)

OnslashPurely on the amp side of things:
The x7s is far more sterile in its audio output. Basically a beefy objective 2 amp with an XLR port. Not as bulimic as the O2 though.
The LCX has a distinct warmth to it. This amp brings out all the details in your music really nicely, giving it a very rich sounding output. I'd place this just a bit higher in preference compared to the X7S. Its overall more fun to listen to.
The CTH is far more brighter between the three, it does deliver nice impact to your music. Everything has a nice punchy sound to it. I'd probably place this unit last in my preference between the three, just out of personal preference.

jgp1212Thank you for sharing your impressions it definitely sounds like the LCX would be the best pick of them all. May I ask what headphones do you have?

jgp1212What happened? How long have you had it? Does Massdrop have any kind of warranty?. I was just about to pull the trigger on one of these.

mindhead1Sbaf forums seem to suggest that Cavalli products are notoriously unreliable. I wanted to try CTH myslef but after reading how many kicked the bucket, I went the audi gd route... and sbaf also hate audio gd!
