That is incredibly insightful and the direct comparison for module and no-module helps a lot in my decision. I definitely don’t want to run into needing to up the volume to hear what the headphones are capable of, and I did need to do that with my old setup.

I'll be using both. The HD800S will come with a Balanced 4-pin XLR and I plan on reterminating my D2000s to them as well. Super easy as there are already wires for it in the stock cable. Genre preferences are Latin (Bachata), Trance, Progressive House, Synthpop, Pop Rock, and then orchestral...

I am definitely still eyeing a Jot, whichever is a better recommendation. I had considered the Lyr 3 more only because someone in my city was selling it which would have been quicker, whereas the Jot 2 I'm eyeing I would have to wait 2 weeks for. I 100% want to upgrade from my Fiio E7 to a...

That's the setup I'm eyeing right now. Do you think I can work with just the Lyr 3 to start? There's a used one for sale in my city and I'm slowly dipping into the deep end with my HD800S in the mail. Source is the MBP 2021 M1. I'm coming from a Denon D2000 with a Fiio E7 DAC/AMP that I've had...

I haven’t yet looked at the TH900 but I am now. Fun being a great keyword. A used pair of TH-X00 PurpleHearts came available near me so I was just looking into that. The HD800s is the only one I’ve been heavily researching since beginning my research last night. Seems to be great for accurate...

I’m looking for a new pair of headphones for Bachata music. A lot of Romeo Santos, Prince Royce, Bachata Heightz, Codigo. I want to use these headphones to be able to separate out the instruments more to improve my musicality as a dancer. Use case: at home, plugged in. I already have Sony...
