100+ Head-Fier
Really appreciate the comments guys! I cannot contain the excitement
As someone previously said if you have the Stratus you owe it to yourself to get the HD800. I never thought I would buy a headphone twice but I'm glad I did with the HD800. I'm not sure if it's the P5, the better tubes or cables but the HD800 sounds like a real masterpiece now with the single plate tubes. This time I'm also going to hardwire them.

I've heard both pretty extensively: I owned the Stratus for years and had the ZDS at home for a month or so. Both are very, very good options. Arguably the best two amps out there for the HD800's in my eyes less the Stellaris and *possibly* the Aficionado.
They are both excellent, just a matter of preference. I could easily live with either.
What's the waiting time for Stratus? Still one year?
