This Latin Acoustic album sounds magical on HD 800:  

Try superlux ha-3d (around less than 200 USD)   It can drive HD800 very properly at less than 9 o'clock (volume), even if you're only using battery for portable use   It gives very enjoyable sound. I skipped the amp of fostex a8c, only using its amazing DAC and the sound is more full bodied...

@Twerk I do agree.. D2000 with JMoney Pads and A8c is AMAZINGLY FUN.    I have yet to year more fun than this (because of Bass / Sub bass). It is a VERY HIGH Price/Performance Ratio.   I rate the FUN FACTOR or may be PRAT in another term 9.5-10 for synergy of D2000  (with JMoney Pads, or may...

Yes what I meant before is about detail, transparency and forgetting about everything (if there is headphone or speaker being used) .. just pure producing music.. I've read some good reviews on KEF LS50. Of course I'm not asking for the most expensive one.. there is no limit :D   Have you...

Yes of course it depends on source/amp, listener moods, recording quality, music preference, earpad fits, etc. but HD800 scales higher with better source/amp because it is neutral

quote from david mahler's comparison 57 headphones:   KING OF BASS: The LCD-3 has the deepest-extending and most natural sounding bass response I have ever heard in a headphone. It should be enough bass to please a self-proclaimed bass-head, yet not too much bass to dissuade a...

Quote: So.. can we say current HD 800 is a bass BEAST then? .  And I think it could scale higher 

HD 800 is quite big compared to ipod.   So you need bigger source/amp such as one in this thread may be   http://www.head-fi.org/t/417493/best-looking-tube-amp    

With the right gear (transparent/smooth/detailed), HD 800 and entire chain will disappear.. there are only you and the "Music"
