The perfect pairing, but for which headphones? They better be perfect for HD800.... 

so, what happened? did it turn out that you got the lower powered CLAS? if so, how can I make sure I am not sent such a CLAS when ordering?

Alright, I am seriously freaking out here, guys. I am about to place an order for the MK3, but I am nowhere near USA ( I live in Bulgaria ), and I would like to know for sure if the MK3 would act up with hiss/background noise on me with a CLAS -dB and HD800 in a balanced configuration, because...

I currently own an Asus Xonar Essence One with stock opamps, and I would love to hear a comparison between the Intruder and the One, since both are USB DACs with an amp section. That would be hugely helpful, actually.

Does the Essence One have a line-out? I am planning on purchasing a RX MK3-B portable amp from ALO, as a start to building my portable rig which will also include a CLAS -dB. For the time being though, can I take out the signal from the E1, using it as a DAC only, and use the RX as a better...

Sounds good. Having hiss would be an absolute deal breaker for me, but since that specific issue has been talked of for quite a while now, I would safely assume that the problem's already been isolated and removed from both possible sources ( CLAS and the RX MK ). I would just fancy having a few...

Hey all, I am currently considering a purchase of the new balanced CLAS and the RX MK3-B for use with my iPod and my HD800 cans, along with a balanced Silver Dragon cable from Drew at Moon Audio. I read quite a few comments about having an audible layer of hiss when using the RX with a certain...

got one of those babies myself, just noticed they released new drivers and firmware - FW is already installed, just one question regarding the drivers: Do I have to uninstall the previous ones first before installing the new ones?

Alright, first things first. I am currently at the brink of ordering a balanced Isabellina HPA from Vinnie at RWA, for use with my Sennheiser HD800. The chain setup would go like this: foobar ( ASIO ) ---> Isabellina HPA ---> Sennheiser HD800 ( a Silver Dragon v3 with a balanced Neutrik...

All I really care about is the sound quality and the synergy between the components listed above. I have absolutely no issues walking around the streets with HD800's on my head, looking like a dork, and the portability of the iMod/Emmeline combo is not something I would worry about.   I...

Hey there guys. I am currently considering to assemble a portable hi-fi setup, consisting of the following items:     iMod 5.5 80 GB ---> Emmelline "The Blackbird" SR-71A ---> Sennheiser HD800 ( with a Moon Audio Silver Dragon v3 cable )     Can anyone confirm the Senns would sound...

Hey gang, I am currently planning on purchasing my second pair of Sennheiser HD800's. Not using any special equipment right now, just an Asus Xonar Essence ST soundcard, as I mostly listen to my FLAC collection using ASIO. So far, been good, since the Xonar integrated amp seems to manage to...

hey guys, I'm currently considering going for a pair of those:   http://www.amazon.com/Cerwin-VE-15-3-Way-Tower-Speaker/dp/B000EI0EBS   I realized I would need a proper amp to fuel them up properly, so could you please give me some directions and recommendations regarding this matter? I...

I just received my Silver Dragon cable for my HD800s, and I seem to be puzzled as to how to replace it. I mean, it's obvious, but the connectors seem to be pretty well fit into their places at the phone cans, and I cannot get them out. Do I have to pull, or what?
