After a week of trying my new LCD X plugged into a Magni, I was getting mixed results. Some songs sounded great, but others sounded a little off on their balance, separation and clarity.
I ordered a cheap adapter on Amazon and plugged my LCD X into the headphone jack of my MacBook Pro 2022. Much to my surprise the sound is night and day, the depth, separation and clarity are suddenly on par with what I was expecting from my LCD X.
Why would this be the case?
you have to be careful doing comparisons because it’s actually pretty difficult to volume match and we basically can only recall the general tone/pitch of an audio sample and even then it’s only in any sort of detail for like 12 seconds.
it’s unlikely it sounds worse or better but the magni 3 can absolutely handle almost any eq you can dream of on the audezae while the macbook cannot.
Is it 12 seconds? I read it was even shorter than that.
