I haven’t heard the burson, but my guess is that it’s not the best pairing with the hd800 line. Someone with more experience with it may chime in, I’m only guessing.
I will say that I’ve had an 800s and 800 with sdr mod, and my favorite pairings are from OTL tube amps. Bottlehead crack and crackatwoa are fantastic, and I slightly prefer those over the mainline (which is not otl but also excellent). The crack was imho much better with the high impedance senns than the dark voice, although the DV was also enjoyable. Basically, my preference for the entire sennheiser HD line from top to bottom was: tubes, tubes, and more tubes.
