OK - I'll bite - why? - can you explain your 'Yes' and in what ways.
I'm an HD800S owner with a pretty decent dac/amp {plus using True-Fi which adds body} and am really interested in the Clear - especially for use with my AK300 DAP.
What sold me on the Clear versus the 800/800s is that you have the same clarity, without the bite. Superior tone and body, micro and macro dynamics are at least equal, I can listen to any genre with the Clear, metal, grunge, plus, classical and jazz. The only place the 800/800s is better is size of the soundstage. Though I think imaging is better with the Clear, so soundstage is a wash.
