If the new HD 800 SN are 15000+ and I just received a so-called new pair less then 2 weeks ago and its 13xxx, does this mean they are not new?
Im reading post from posters commenting on HD800's that they have had for months with SN#s in the 15xxx+ range. Less then 2 weeks ago I bought directly from AMAZON a pair with a SN of 13xxx. Should I be concerned about not receiving a brand new pair of headphone's? I did pay...- choptalk

Whats the odds of blowing the drivers on HD800's with LYR volume turned to 2 o'clock
After a night sleeping on it I think its the sound signature of the HD800's Its too airy in the high's. What im saying is I have to turn the volume up so high to get the mids and lower levels up to where I want to listen. But when I do that it brightens up the high almost to...- choptalk

Quote: that bitfrost you have probably makes a huge difference. If you dont mind doing me a favor. Could you briefly remove the bitfrost from your setup go directly from computer to LYR and put the HD 800's at 3 o clock and tell me what you think. If you are too busy...- choptalk

Quote: The main question is does this potentially damage the HD800's The owner of the company told me I was fine and im not doing anything that will cause damage. The volume at 3 o clock is about the same level as IPOD earbuds at 75% on an iphone. As a matter of fact...- choptalk

Quote: Well you have to consider I am not setup properly yet. My 3 o clock may be your 11 o clock. If my output to the AMP is only 1 volt and yours is 2 volts. Thats what Jason Stoddard told me.- choptalk

Just talked to Mr Stoddard. He told me that since I dont have an external DAC im fine. The MBP only puts out 1v of power and most external DAC's put out at least 2 according to him. I guess I should have asked him first come to think of it. Well if thats the case I highly...- choptalk

Just got my start up setup today. So far it consist of MBP to LYR to HD800's. No special cables yet. Sounds great considering the fact I dont have a DAC and AMP that will be my permanent setup yet. All I have been hearing about for months on this forum is how powerful the LYR is...- choptalk
