A Corvette is like a Chevy Malibu with more HP, and better handling and brakes.

Hey guys
Ive been waiting for my tax return and it has finally arrived. I been looking at classified section but the price is really high in the $1300 range but you do get a different set of cords with that price. So my question is it worth it to buy a used set older then 2 years out of warranty but get a higher end cord with it for the price?
For new all I see is $1500 range, so it leaves me with a opportunity for the ColorWare version where I can select my color for a $100 more then regular retail price.
I will be using the HD800 with a Asus Xonar STX, Matrix Audio Mini-i Pro, and a TEAC UD-H01.
Anyone would like to add there 2 cents would be great...
Thanks

The wow comes later after you've listened to the HD800s for a while then go back to your other cans, then you wow at how much of a step down they are
So far these are killing every genre of music I throw at them. From high pitched female vocals, to country, to hip hop. Engineering masterpiece.

Amp + DAC Testing time
REGA Dac + Antique Sound Labs MG Head vs AudioGD NFB12.1 + Schiit VALI.
If you don't want to spend much, get a Schiit Vali ($119) or Matrix M-Stage HPA-2 w/USB DAC ($320). I can't comment on the Vali, but the M-Stage will get the HD800s playing to nearly their potential.
Really that's incredible. How close to their potential? For example if you went from an M-stage to a DNA Stratus i wonder what the improvement would sound like?
