I did it...now I will be able to enjoy the glories of Dolby Headphone in my bedroom.

Merry Christmas to me....this was what I put my Christmas cash towards and the sales of the past few items.

As soon as I get it and put it through it's paces..I will do a head to head comparison with it's big brother the DIR1000.

Congrats, so you bought it anyways.

Hope you will enjoy it, please tell us how you think the difference from DIR1000C.

BY the way there are 3 inputs for DIR800C. Optical digital(toslink), coaxial digital(RCA) and analog(RCA). And it's closed phone, weighs 250g.

Congrates John,
Looking forward to your comparisons
to the 1000s, I may be also looking for a another system for the bedroom.

Very interesting -- I'm really looking forward to your review.

May I make another request? I'd love to see some high quality photos of the unit -- I wonder what all those "dots" or "holes" in the front are (I presume they are purely decorative.)

Can you switch between the two digital inputs?

Didn't know that....fanastic news!
This means I can have the coaxial and analog connections running from my Digital cable box as well as the optical running from the DVD player..I am one happy camper now!
