Got my Predator back the other day. Posted in the "other 780 thread" about it, but I'll answer here that they sound SCHWEET! with the Predator. Absolutely wonderful combination. Highly recommended.

Also, I mentioned before the D1 DAC seems a little bright with the opamps I have for it, and I am looking for an LM6172 for the DAC socket. In the meantime, I switched the iBasso D1 with CDP/iRiver optical out to a HeadRoom Micro DAC, and feeding that into the HeadFive makes another great combination.

I hope to have more opamps for the iBasso D1 DAC to try later in the week, but for now I have no problems at all with the treble and HeadFive like I did at first. The amp section is just right when teamed with the D1 DAC, but when using the DAC alone via line out then it is brighter. I confirmed this by feeding the headphone out from D1 into the HeadFive, and the brightness wasn't there.
