Thanks for the info akhyar. Was looking at the WA2 but chose this because of the higher missus approval rating factor. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk- PretentiousGeek

Hd800 Hifiman 6 Audeze lcd-x Audeze lcd-x3 I prefer the hd800. Just not sure if the wa7 will really give it justice...- PretentiousGeek

HD800 roadmap to a top tier setup
It really seems that talking about high end audio and gaming triggers some controversy. I just want to make thing clear, I'm not buying these just for gaming. I'm going to use it mainly for music.

HD800 roadmap to a top tier setup
Thanks for the help. I have decided to get the hd800 and a woo audio wa7 instead. It's more expensive that I initially intended but live is too short, I'd rather spend them listening to quality music rather than waiting and pondering what to buy. Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk- PretentiousGeek

HD800 roadmap to a top tier setup
I know that a pair of cans cant do it all, based on my research the HD800 certainly is more than adequate for movies and gaming and is superb in critical listening of recordings. As ive said i dont have unlimited funds but i still want a superb setup. While im confident in the HD800...- PretentiousGeek

HD800 roadmap to a top tier setup
Hi Guys, I have read tons of reviews and finally settled to get an HD800 which will basically fill my need, an all arounder. (50% music, 30% non competitive gaming, 20% movies). My current setup is a Windows based computer and an external DAC (JDS labs Objective DAC) + AudioEngine A5. ...- PretentiousGeek

Wireless audio from PC to amp?
I'm not sure if this is what you need but you should check out rocki. It should be better than using bluetooth to transmit the data. http://www.myrocki.com- PretentiousGeek
