Anyone hear anything more about the HDVD800?    Thanks,   Dave

Thanks to you both for your quick help. I just wanted to be sure to understand the role the sound card plays in all of this.   With regard to the Dell vs. HP decision ... I am actually leaning heavily toward Dell for a couple of reasons. First, I have been purchasing a new computer every two...

Hello:   I will be buying a new computer soon – probably either a Dell XPS 8300 or one of the HP Pavilion series units. Today I listen to my Sennheiser HD800 phones via my McIntosh preamp (driven by a Squeezebox Touch) but am planning on buying a DAC and headphone amp later this year to...

Quote: Thanks very much project86. I think I'll wait to see what the Anedio D2 (or whatever) looks like. I'm a patient guy -- and I'm getting a great deal of enjoyment from my FLAC>Squeezbox Touch>McIntosh preamp>HD800 arrangement. And I understand there are new Violectric offerings...

Hello:   I've had Senn HD800 headphones for a few months and really love them. I listen only to classical music. I'm currently driving the HD800's from a McIntosh preamp and am actually  enjoying the sound very much. I play only FLAC files through a Squeezbox Touch, which feeds the preamp...

  Well – I certainly have learned a great deal from all of you. Thank you very much for the time you have taken to put forth such thoughtful responses.   Based on your input and my subsequent research into your recommendations, here is where I am … as I see it, there are really two...

Thanks everyone for your input. I am now trying to summarize where I am on all of this and will have a new posting soon. Typing is not my strong suit. I have made no final decision yet but your input has been invaluable.   Dave

  Thank you both for your input. I am finding this a little daunting because the only headphones I’ve ever owned (1980’s Koss) are old and pretty poor and now in disrepair to boot! Moreover, there seems to be no way for me to try out the different models before I buy. There are no shops nearby...

  Hello:   I am a classical music lover who is planning on purchasing headphones soon. My current system is “vintage” but good quality (McIntosh, Nakamichi, Klipschorns, etc.). I haven’t got much experience with headphones but I've learned a lot from this great site. I am heavily leaning...

Thanks Scootermafia - I think I'll start another thread asking opinions on the Headphones sub-forum, too. I placed this here mainly to try to find out more on how the Woo or the Little Dot would be connected to my computer.   Dave

  TwoEars – thanks for all your help. Yes, I’m aware that the Anedio is temporarily unavailable and that the owner is working to upgrade the USB inputs. I am actually hoping that he will also improve the D1's headphone amp. There has been some discussion on that thread of whether or not the D1...

Well, I guess I am getting OT a bit but how do you know before buying? I live in a rural area and have no shops nearby that even carry the high end Senns.  I was thinking of buying the headphones through Amazon who allows returns for 30 days but I don't want to abuse that privilege.    Also...

  Thanks for the feedback and ideas.   I haven’t finalized my decision on which headphones to purchase and am actually still considering the HD650s as well, so I welcome your feedback there. I am leaning toward the HD800s due to primarily three reasons. First, they seem to be more highly...

  Hello:   I found this terrific site a few weeks ago and have learned a lot. I have searched quite a bit, but am still confused a bit. This is my first post and appreciate any help you can give.   I am a long-time music lover with a full system who is considering getting into...
