Hi there.   At the moment I’m trying to find the right semi portable headphones for work. Until now I auditioned the B&W P5, Sennheiser Momentum 2.0 OnEar, Bayerdynamic t51i and of course the Audeze Sine. A Sony Xperia Z5 and/or a current model macbook pro will drive these headphones.   P5...

Hey, cable question: After someone in this thread recommended the Draug v2 Copper cables for the HD800, i got on their website and configured them to my best knowledge (hoping they are really copper and fit my amp;):   - Draug Length: 9 ft. - Draug Headphone Type: Sennheiser HD800 - Cable...

Ok guys, I reached my personal HiFi summit (fortunately for my wallet, the next summits on the horizon are still well hidden in thick clouds). Maybe you read my last posts about the dac/amp setups I auditioned. Lastly, I gave the Ifi Micro a go (which got great reviews, here and elsewhere on...

Hey guys, back again with even more impressions. Status quo as of now: Music Fidelity MX-DAC + Music Fidelity MX-HPA is the winning Setup for now. As mentioned in my earlier post, I compared it to the T+A DAC8 (with its integrated headphone amp). Sound wise the T+A is a real pleaser...

Ok, back again with a little update on my ongoing evaluation process for finding my perfect match in amp/day for the HD800s. The other day I gave the Sennheiser HDVD 800 a run. My subjective impressions compared to the Musical Fidelity MX DAC and MX HPA: Positiv: smoother sound overall, for...

Seem to be great setups you guys got there. Although a little bit out of my price range ;) "I can finally just listen and be happy" And that is what it's all about!

Hey guys. My “story” started 10 days ago, when I purchased a HD-800 plus a Lehmann Linear Audio amp. As I detailed in the Introduction sub forum (http://www.head-fi.org/t/782792/musical-fidelity-mx-dac-lehmann-linear-audio-sennheiser-hd-800). Over the days, I made some changes…...

Small update:  Changed the Lehmann Audio Linear for a Music Fidelity MX-HPA. Supposed to have a warmer sound signature. Will see. What i can already say is, that it seems to drive the HD-800 more efficiently. Where as i had to enable Gain on the Lehmann for a comfortable hearing level with vol...

Thanks again, especially for the link to the HD-800 review by 6moons. They very clearly recommended changing the stock cables for after-market cables to address issues like the sometimes too harsh treble. That’s something I have to look into! And your right, no harm done by playing around a...

Hey obobskivich, thanks for the answer.   Actually, I do like the HD-800’s sound. More than say a Grado GS1000e. Sure the Grado lack the sometimes harsh treble, but they lack also what makes the HD-800 so great for me (Sountstage, detail, dry bass,… to name a few. For lack of a better word...

Hello boys and girls!   My first steps in higher ending headphones and audio equipment are due to circumstances. Meaning my one year old daughter. She (and her mother) would not be too pleased if I would “redecorate” our living room with some massive speakers, funny colored cables and monolith...
