dreamwhisper/ StefanJK, I agree headphones are part of the equation. I used a 24bit/192000 Hz dac with OTL tube amp and other is 24bit/96000 Hz DAC/Amp. Pardon me, I don’t want to turn this into a discussion of gear to mate with HD800 as there is plenty of threads for that. Thus don’t want to give out exact brand and model. However I will throw in that both “inner fidelity” and “headfonia” have stated my amp does work well with the HD800. I simply posted this for future buyers who would have more info about the ($ / performance) value of HD800.
viz " I don’t want to turn this into a discussion of gear to mate with HD800 as there is plenty of threads for that. Thus don’t want to give out exact brand and model." No need to engage in a discussion, but it is helpful to know what exactly you are using for people to draw their own conclusions. People have different background experiences and assumptions and may see something going that you don't. Context matters, more so for some than for others. No need for you to engage after providing that simple info.
Viz. "both inner fidelity and headfonia have stated my amp does work well with the HD800" -- I'd not put any weight on that...those publications are marketing psy ops, not sources of information, in my view.
