New headphone amplifier from Bryston

I went from a standard headphone jack to the xlr L and R. on my HD800S the sound sounded wider. Never tried the 4 pin although I found that I have one. Downloaded a new album today. Will try a AB test latter today and let you know what I hear. My system is a AK2000 to a AKPEF21 balanced cable (L and R XLR) to the Amp and then the HD800S. the only delta I can think of that may impact my test is the 4 pin is 10ft and my xlr is a 4 foot. however given the power of the amp I dont think this will impact much

I have the LCD4 and Utopia with my Bryston. I love both but need to sell one of the two. Probably the LCD4 - it’s warmer and very musical but the Utopia has a larger soundstage, better separation and detail retrieval, but also leans toward the sibilant on some tracks (which the LCD4 does not). Right now I’m running through a Mojo - how do you like the Bryston D/A converter vs the Benchmark (sorry, a bit off-topic). Will have to try my HD800S on the Bryston again!

Handsome! I still have a Benchmark DAC on my "must buy" list. Just have not gotten there yet :D

Some dude in the abyss 1266 thread said the bryston has no synergy with the TCs. I call bs. It sounds pretty awesome to me.
It's all relative. You have to know all the gear people are using and what else they have listened to. One man's peanut butter is another man's petroleum jelly :D
