  I was in the same situation some months ago as you are now. Also wanting a high-end headphone with amp and dac that would have great pairing with multiple headphones. After having owned the Alpha Primes and now the HD800 I think I'm gonna stick with the HD800 as long as I did 8 years with...

I just ordered the Valhalla 2 for the HD800 based on recommendations. I suggest you get the Schiit stack and if you would buy an LCD-2f add an Asgard 2 to the stack. The Audeze's benefit from a good ss amp.

Just ordered the Modi 2 Uber together with a Valhalla 2 for my HD800

Which combo would you buy for only the HD800! Does the $1297 option have a substantial difference over the $317?   $317 Wyrd > Modi > Vali   $547 Wyrd > Modi > Valhalla 2   $737 Wyrd > Bifrost Uber > Vali   $967 Wyrd > Bifrost Uber > Valhalla 2   $1067 Wyrd > Gungnir > Vali  ...

subbed   Looks to be a nice device, are there alternatives?

I'm also in for a meet, would like it to be between Antwerp and Amsterdam.   Dependable on the amount of participants:        First make a decision where it would take place (based on a poll of major cities), then a date (based on another poll) and make someone responsible for the meeting...

  Those are also my first impressions, especially on the soundstage.

I've got a nice delivery today. Alpha Prime, Lyr 2 and Bifrost Uber. First impressions are very good and it will be a very short night of sleep.   AP vs HD 595 AP: more detail and clearer sounding, better separation, better bass impact HD 595: more comfortable but probably many headphones...

  The AudioEngine APT-X BT is very interesting. Only thing is that I now never use a tablet. So would a dap with a digital output make more sense? Are there players with digital outputs?

  So a tablet is the best option? what about all my music, stream it via WiFi? What tablet is compatible with a bifrost uber usb?

I'm kind of in the same situation, wanting a source next to my chair to pair with amp/dac (input usb or optical). Sony HAP-S1/S seems interesting but too expensive, want something max $500.

So many great albums, out of my head I would add these (also in no particular order): BTW I'm 28.   Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Beatles - Rubber Soul Clash - London Calling Elvis Presley - The Sun Sessions U2 - The Joshua Tree Ramones - Ramones David Bowie - The Rise...

http://www.mrspeakers-europe.com/index.php/producten/headphones.html   849 euro

  I was first also thinking about ordering from the US because of the dollar to euro conversion. But if I should pay 21% VAT and customs clearance the price would be higher than ordering from The Netherlands. Also got a reduction of 80 euro on the official price.    

Just ordered the Alpha Prime with a Lyr 2 and Bifrost uber analog usb from Sonority Audio in the Netherlands. They have the AP in stock, will problably have it at the end of the week or early next week, excited ;)

  I was also thinking about the Lyr 2, very good impressions on that amp. Only problem is that most people with a Lyr 2 don't use stock tubes. So buying extra tubes ... $$$

After reading those great impressions I'm taking a step into the unknown and buying the AP. This will be an upgrade from my current HD595 I've got for years.   What would be a good amp/dac setup for the AP with a budget around $800.   asgard 2/bifrost combo NFB-28   or (with cable...
