Hi Frank, I recal you did a great review last summer on the Sennheiser HDVD800. I realize that the Senns' DAC only converts to192,96-24. A comparison to the HA-1 sound quality when using HD800s would be greatly appreciated.   Thanks again

Has anybody had a chance to compare the B&W P7 to the Oppo pm1 while using the iPhone 5S and the Onkyo HF Player app while playing flac, 24-96,192, dsd music files? In the last five months since I received the P7s I have been using it more than my HD800 and my HDVD800 amp/dac.   I find the...

Hello everybody, I am looking to pick up the PM-1's and add it to my small collection; Sennheiser HD800, HDVD800 and my portables B&W P7; P5. While I love the sound of the HD800, I find the B&W P7 outstanding in their own right.   Would the PM-1 be a better choice of being introduced to a...

Quote:   Great review Frank. My sentiments exactly. Much appreciated.

Quote:   Thank you for that very colorful description of the Cardas Clear headphone cable, you put a big smile on my face.   Well I picked up the Cardas Clear light 4 pin XLR and the Cardas Quadlink Power cables for my HDVD800 & HD800. The dealer agreed to allow me to test these...

I have been waiting for my Cardas Clear XLR 4 pin balanced cable for my HD800s & HDVD 800 combo for over a month from my dealer in Toronto but the lads at Cardas made an error and end up sending my dealer the Cardas Clear Light XLR 4 pin balanced cable. I have been researching on the internet...

I have not compared Enqueue, just Amara and Fidelia to the AUDIRVANA PLUS 1.46 and more recently Beta 1.4.9.9 (sounds great!). One thing is I deactivated itunes completely in the settings and just play my HD flac files. I found that AUDIRVANA PLUS improved my HDVD800 nicely, more air, more...

I highly recomennd Audirvana Plus! They just released a beta version 1.5 and it is absolutely fantastic with the HDVD800, HD800 and my Mac. To my ears it is way better then Fidelia and Amara. It has rave reviews on Computer Audiophiles website...

Has anybody who owns the HDVD800 made any adjustments to the gain setting in the back of the amp?

I am new to Head-fi equipment and a newbie and would like to share my impressions on the Sennheiser HDVD 800.   My setup: MacBook Pro, Cardas Clear USB cable, Sennheiser HDVD800 (spare computer power cable) and HD800, HTS 3600MKII. Still waiting for my Cardas Clear balanced 4 pin cable. My...

Quote: Hi thinker, First of all I like to thank you and the rest of the members on this forum for you terrific insightful information with the HDVD800. I just received my HDVD800 today(Toronto, Canada.....finally!) and will auditioning them. It will be connect my Macbook...

Quote:   Do you know the ETA of the HDVD 800 in Canada yet?

Quote:   I am in Toronto. I wish I could just drive down this weekend, unfortunately work takes precedent. I would like to ask you what is your honest opinion between the Burson Conductor vs HDVD 800 for the hd800s. Btw, what's the name of your store? Thanks

Quote: Thanks for the update. Unfortunately I won't be able make it, what a shame. I just checked Sennheiser Canada website and they raised the price from $1,999 to $2,399 in just few days. What's up with that?

Quote:     Well, that's the dilemma. I haven't heard the WA6se and in Toronto(GTA) no dealer is carring the Woo products in their stores. The conductor is an amp I will be able to sample in a couple of weeks. I have a very hard time ordering something that I haven't teasted myself...

Thank you for that terrific review! I just picked up my HD800's a couple of days ago and they are absolutely fantastic! I only have them plugged into my MacBook Pro and I cannot believe how great my lossless files sound without the addition of an amp or dac. I was about to buy the Woo...

Just picked up HD800's and their fantastic!! The question is what direction should I take in buying AMP/DAC. I read a lot of reviews WA6se (NO DAC) and it seems the right way to go however I really have know place to demo the WA6se's. On the other hand the Burson Conductor seems to be a...

Anybody know how WA7 compares to the WA6 SE?  For me its a toss up between the WA6 SE and WA7 for my HD800s. I would appreciate any suggestions before I make a decision on the purchase of one of these beauties. Thanks 

Thank you for that great review. Can you or anybody on the forum tell me if the WA7's are an excellent fit for the Senn. HD800's. Does it have enough power to drive them and the smoothness to remove the edgeness from the 800's?  Lastly, Connect to iPad 3(Goldenear App) via usb through CCK...
