I have the Fostex TH 900 through a HeadRoom Desktop Amp (Max'ed), and am VERY happy with the combo. Edit: with Desktop DAC combo.
I've heard the HD 800's and will be picking up a pair - not as a replacement to the TH 900, but a complement (the two sound too different to really put as a "vs").
I would love to get your opinions of an amp that I could use for both headphones that would do them justice. If the Headroom Desktop Amp is sufficient, that's great - I'm not looking to replace that, either, as I'm currently quite satisfied with it. I did, however, listen to the HD 800's through a tube amp (WA2), and was very, very impressed at the time, so I'm wondering if I should buy a tube amp just for the HD 800's. I've also heard the Burson Conductor and was very impressed, but I listened to that with the TH 900's only.
Primarily listening will be through my PC via FLAC/WAV/lossless with a Creative Titanium HD (feel free to suggest upgrades). Edit: through optical out to Desktop DAC/Amp (i.e., not using the soundcard DAC, at least as I understand it).
Thanks.
