The following review by Doug Sax is worthwhile reading for multiple reasons :

  • Compares the Liquid Spark to the Deckard in detail with full measurements comparing both;
  • Compares Sennheiser 600 to Audeze LCD 5;
  • He provides EQ and Tweaks (passive components) to take it as close to the Deckard
  • Bob Katz provides his personal (Qobuz) streaming playlist (some notables in there and it is only a part of his full list), and he gives you in great detail the songs he used for his comparisons. He recorded a good few of them;
  • This is a current price $80 (out of stock) amp vs $700 amp/dac (discontinued), so considered a giant killer.
There is lots of good content in there and it reads like a very decent buy.
