Frequently Asked Questions

The 2nd Gen boasts refined tuning and improved transient response, resulting in a cleaner, more articulate soundstage without sacrificing Meze's signature warmth.
While technically possible, a dedicated DAC/amp is highly recommended to fully appreciate the Liric 2nd Gen's capabilities and avoid power limitations.
The closed-back design provides better isolation, but it inherently reduces the perceived soundstage width and can create a slightly more intimate listening experience compared to open-back designs.
