How's that Zodiac treating you with the HD800s?  I've always been curious about the sound from the aristocrat's DAC.

Many people around here know I'm pretty vocal about my LF because Alex is a local guy for me. Gotta give those local builders and shops support! ...and I just really like the LF.
 
I used the Marantz SA8004 as a transport right after the Calyx DAC arrived, but I sold it soon after because I preferred the USB implementation of the Calyx. The transport part of the Cambridge is more impressive than the SA8004 as it's harder to tell a difference between the 2 inputs now.
 
Up until now I was just using USB from my MBP.

That does not surprise me. Everything I have read about the 851 seems top of the line at a great price point.

The last 2 headphones I really want to hear...
 
T1 and LCD 3.

Considering you like your HD800 (I'm assuming. If you hate them you can give them to me), the T1 would probably suit you best. It's got just a touch more bass, and I actually prefer it to the HD800 overall.

Well what I'm thinking is...Keep the HD800 and get an LCD 3 to go with it. 
 
I feel the T1 would get me a good middle ground...but what fun is that?
 
I loved my LCD 2, but the HD800 beat it out for me in most ways (it's technically superior). The thing the LCD 3 would do is kick out the jams for EDM and Rock.

The LCD-3 is superior to HD800 (admittedly not a fan of the harshness sound) but the HD800 was superior to LCD-2. The T1 definitely falls in the middle.
Doesn't suffer from overdone treble, is fairly balanced and offers a fun house sound. Greatly complimentary to either LCD-3 or HD800.

I can't imagine detail retrieval is any better on the LCD 3, and soundstage certainly isn't. 
 
From what I've read anyway of course. Comfort on the HD800 is probably better, too. Considering it's pretty much unchanged from the LCD 2.
