I have a Norne Vanquish for my HD800 with Neutrik XX dual 3 pin XLRs.
Currently using a Skoll SE to balanced adapter until the 2014 batch of GSX's is shipping
.
As I needed 14ft, there was no other reasonable offer out there. Everyone of the usual suspects was charging an arm and leg for that run of a cable. All aspects of sound quality with the Vanquish are great in my book. No micro phonics issues at all (red sleeving) and light and comfortable. But I never had any issues with the stock cable either -other than the coiling. With my e20 DAC the HD800 has no sibilance if it isn't in the recording and there is no lack of bass. It's accurate and it's not bloated. But then maybe it's just my music preference
