At 15', it might just be easier to get an apple airport express and go wireless. You can also try the optical out of the mbp (the headphone jack is a combo jack)
will plugging in headphones mute the preamp/speakers? or are all outputs always on?

Just curious if many of you owners are buying this unit locally or online and are you guys paying retail for it? Their site doesn't list authorized online resellers but it appears that Best Buy Magnolia carries them. Guess I can always swing by and demo them before deciding.
Bought mine used for $800. Works grear
That sounds like a great deal. Rarely do they show up in the FS section.
I just checked bestbuy's site and don't see it listed. Where are you seeing this?

So what's the general opinion on pairing the HA-1 with the HD 800s? Very strongly considering this pair but opinions seem to be split 50/50. One half saying it's a wonderful match with excellent synergy/sound while the other half saying the sound is overly bright or even unbearable.
I prefer my sound to be for the most part neutral and natural.
I've been using my Denon D2000's plugged into a Apogee Duet for the past couple years and generally enjoyed the sound. The main thing that bugged me about the Denon's was the somewhat recessed midrange (vocals.) Just sold my D2000s and planning on picking up this pair. The only other headphones I have are Sony MDR-7506's, which I love.
Oh and i'm a huge fan of Oppo products in general...I own both a 103 and 103D. Top notch players with awesome value.
