Pioneer SE-DIR800C Anybody Tried it?

I am itching to know if anybody has tried this little brother to the DIR1000 Dolby Headphone setup. I want to get a second processor for my bedroom and I like the fact that the wireless cans with the 800 are much smaller and more "pillow friendly".

Anybody given it an audition yet?

I have compared DIR1000C and 800C at the shop and ended up buying 1000C. Here's what I thought.

-1000C is big and loose. 800C is smaller and clamps tighter, not that annoying, though.

-800 has manual on-off switch on left can, there's a good chance you can forget to turn it off.

-I can't really tell the difference of the sound. I felt 800 has narrower dynamic range and sound stage but quite possibly it was the source. I just preferred the "openness" of 1000.

Thanks so much Takashi-

Looks like it will be another DIR1000 for the bedroom. I really like the comfort of mine too as well as the open feel you speak about. And I know I would always be forgetting the on-off switch on the cans.
