I don't own the Asgard any longer and I haven't gotten the HD 700 yet.

Thank you so much for this post and link. It shed some new light on my entire conundrum. The link was extremely useful. In the end I may end up with the Schiit bifrost/lyr stack and call it a day. Sadly there is not a way to try these amps out so I do depend heavily on the feedback of the forum...

Well the HD 700 is 150 ohms which does classify as high impedance. From the reviews I have read the lyr, wa3 and crack all pair with the HD 700 extremely well and help tame some of the headphones known treble peaks. Its just tough trying to decide. I think the crack has the best price to...

So do you think the wa3 will outlast a bottlehead crack? Is the extra price justified in your opinion?

You can power the HD 700 directly from your phone? How is the sound in comparison to being amped? Hmmm what a line up. Have you tried the headphones with any other amps besides the wa3?

I'm hearing a lot about how great the bottlehead crack is with sennheisers. How does it compare to the woo audio?

I'm going to try to audition them before I commit though. If I don't like them in the demo then I'll go for the HD 650

yes the hd700 are 150 ohms. I think I would rather go with the warmer sound because of the reported treble issues with the HD 700. Also what's the difference between an OTL amp and a regular amp? I know the WA3 is OTL while the WA6 is not.

Because I'm getting a great deal on the HD 700 that I can't get on the HD 800. Plus I want to get the black sheep of the Sennheiser line. The middle child so to speak.

Hello fellow head-fiers, I'm ordering a pair of HD700 in a few weeks and I'm looking for an amp to pair with them. I'm stuck between the wa3 and wa6. Ideally I would want the wa7 but that is out of my budget. I plan to also get a Schiit bifrost down the line but an amp is more pressing at the...

Thank you kind sir. It appears a pair of HD700 are in my future. I previously owned the hd600 and have auditioned the hd800 in the past. I'm excited about this looming purchase.

can't wait to hear your impressions

Bump old thread.

It is what it is. The segment isn't going anywhere. Fact of the matter is people who want to and can spend the money on $1k headphones will. Others that can't will just complain about how expensive they are. These are made for people who will spend the money on them and trust there are a lot...

In Vegas at a company event. There were 3 available but they only had bright filters. I cannot stress this enough.. The se846 completely obliterate the se535. They are not in the same league at all. The bass on this headphone feels like an over the ear headphone. But its not like bloated...
