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?
I had my wife perform a blind test for me and every time I picked the mac. I did buy the magni second hand from Facebook marketplace - so it’s possible I have a bum unit I guess…
