I'm currently running my HD800 with V800+V200 dac
someday I saw a member's reply that he had his T1 recabled and connect it directly to V800 and found the sound good.
I found a cable maker that are willing to do a cardas 6ft cable for $250 shipped
the spec is:
HD800 connectors ---> mini 4 xlr
mini 4 xlr ---> Female Dual 3 pin XLRs
the rationale is that I'll definitely going full balanced some day in the future and it's easier to just buy another mini 4 xlr --> Male Dual 3 Pin XLRs
my question is, will the $250 be well spent?
I also heard someone say that connecting directly from DAC to Headphone would only degrade the sound.
But according to Fried, CEO of the Violectric, he said running this setup I'll be "astonished"
so...I'm not sure if I should spend the money here.
and reply is appreciated.
