Headphoneus Supremus

People have to buy into the S-Logic sound to enjoy them. Some people seem to not be able to do this. So it is a love it or hate it situation and the HFI-780 has S-Logic Plus.
The biggest negative for the HFI-780 that "I" have so far is the cable. This may be the first headphone that I have that I send out for re-cabling.
On another side note. The UE9 may be essentially a mix of the Proline plus HFI line in sound and the HFI-780 may just have bridged a little of the original HFI gap toward the UE9 in my opinion.
My second Lavry came in today and I replaced my Beresford with it. The HFI-780 is singing a bit better now. Now the HFI-780 at the computer is feed by the Yamamoto HA-02 and Lavry DA10 just like at my Easy Chair. The main difference now is the dac sources and the nicer power and ICs on the one at the Easy Chair. At the Easy Chair is the Squeezebox and at the computer is the M-Audio USB Audiophile (JMedia) and HagUSB-XLR (Winamp).
