Gotcha. I'll probably start with 24 awg and move down from there. Do you guys recommend DHC wire?

That's what I use on my personal cables. I have only used the Polyethylene insulated Nucleotide though.
I highly recommend it and prefer it over Mogami/Canare. But that's just my personal preference

Worth the asking price?

IMHO, totally. Keep in mind that I have spent hundreds on some of my cables.
But as someone else once told me...

That makes for a very expensive cable! was it worth it?

 
Well, not really, it's just a cable after all, but it does feed/satisfy my audiophile psychosis lol.

Hm, improve my soldering or purchase a Gungir later in the year..

Terrible things First World problems are... Such a dilemma...

I have worked with the DHC stuff and honestly it is so far the easiest and best looking wire I have ever worked with.  It looked fantastic and soldered like a dream. 

 

[wolfetan44]

No, like save up for Gungir or get wire and supplies?

If you believe in wires they will make the smallest difference in your chain.  If you don't than they won't make any difference in your chain so either way I would go with the Gungir.

Ok, cool, thanks. I'm still debating it, as I get a lot of experience if I purchase DIY stuff, and that's what I want.

If you want some good expirience build a DIY amp.

Depends on the headphones but crack or sex.  For anything lower than 100ohms sex for anything higher than 100ohms crack.

Cool, thanks for the help, Zash. I'll see what I want to do, I may be getting some wire today, or saving up!

It's all up to you young sir, I learned my soldering skills a long long time ago and they are a great skills to have.
 
The Gungnir looks like a nice DAC, well beyond my purchasing ability but if you are able to do so then go for it. Be warned though you will need a pair of LCD's as well to go with your new Mjolnir I remember right.
 
Building kits is another great way to learn to solder, which I would do before you jump right into a recable job on a nice set of headphones as you want the cable to look great.
For me wire is wire, there are others that claim they can hear the difference between OFC 4N and 7N but I cannot.
 
I don't know what you have for a soldering iron but I would look into one of the Hakko FX888's if you don't have a decent one.
 
Good Luck with your choice!
