If you follow Lachlan, you know that he's always been about sound first. He's a lifelong audiophile who listens carefully, critiques incisively, and shares his love for music openly with his viewers. The goal was to turn his \"passion for sound\" into a literal product: a fully-discrete amplifier voiced for clarity, space, and rich musicality. \u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFully-discrete circuit derived from a higher-end design\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThis is a fully-discrete design based on a circuit approach used in far more expensive multi-thousand-dollar components. Discrete amplification offers tighter control over device selection and operating points than an all-in-one chip solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTransparent, spacious, engaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Lydian is all about \"lifting the veil\" and letting you hear things you've never heard before: micro-dynamics, reverb tails, and precise instrument spacing. It boasts a spacious, detailed presentation that's musical and engaging. \u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWide-range versatility for headphones\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Lydian is designed to behave predictably across a wide load range. It delivers 1.8 W RMS into 32 ohms and 780 mW RMS into both 100 ohm and 300 ohm loads, which gives it enough headroom for demanding headphones without running near its limits. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra inputs for swapping sources\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eMultiple inputs let you keep more than one DAC connected, like a delta-sigma DAC for incisive detail and an R2R DAC for gooey tonality.
