I haven’t own a LPGT in 2 years. My favorite thing about that DAP was the PEQ. For some reason, that DAP takes EQ really well and my favorite headphone pairing is the Onkyo A800 which also took EQ really well. I forgot what I did in the EQ, but I got bass to certain level on the Onkyo A800 to the point where I wanted to see how far I could take that headphone.
I say the LPGT a clean neutral DAC in its stock form. It gets really fun once you play with EQ.
I have been playing with the EQ on the LPGT a lot and loving it so far. Need to figure out next what is the way to create custom PMEQ setting.
Most curious to know which direction to lean towards, either HEkSE or save up more for Focal Utopia with LPGT as the source for now. That will determine probably if I should grab a WA8 or a Mass Kobo 475!
I should point out that my current headphones are the Focal Clear OG!
