Congrats, that's a great amp. But, "HD800" and "veil" should not be in the same sentence. Are you sure you didn't mean something else?

 
100% agreed. With the HD650s absolutely...but definitely not with the HD800s IMO.

Music is more forward unlike being driven by The Protector.  It's not veiled compare to HD650.

It's not veiled compared to anything.

Neil Youngs 'On The Beach' is making me appreciate mine tonight.  This album got ripped in 1973 for being sparse, and ragged.  Just the way I like it.  Good Stuff.  
 
What are you hearing?
 
Revox Signature B226> McIntosh C220 w/Telefunken 12AX7> Lehmann BCL> HD800

Did you really put your HD800 on your dog's head?

No, he has his own pair.

An audiophile dog? According to http://www.seefido.com/html/dog_sense_of_hearing.htm , dogs have a highly developed sense of hearing. I bet they can distinguish one cable/power cord/DAC from another better than the golden ears

I think it's because of the comma at the end.

Wait a minute! I thought that the Beats are the best headphones ever made.

It took me awhile but I think I've finally found my sound with the HD800s.  I've been through a lot of the popular high end phones too, LCD-2, T1, SR-507, D7000, I prefer the HD800s by a wide margin, just a matter of preference of course. Now I'm just figuring out how I should go about amping them, I think I prefer SS atm. Right now honestly I'm enjoying them out of my new Lavry DA11, its lacking something, I'm not sure what, but it will do fine for me until I can afford a dedicated amp.

I just recently acquired HD800, but lack both DAC and amp. Since my wallet is still trying to recover from the purchase of the headphones, I have to choose either one of them. I have almost decided to save up the money for a DA11 and buy an amp at later time. 
 
My question is does the DA11 have enough power to drive the headphones? Since you mentioned that the system "will do you fine" for the moment, I guess this setup will is satisfactorily?

 

[RTF]

Yeah I think it drives them just fine, I wish I had more amps to compare it with, I just have my old Meier Prehead-1. But I feel its a definite step up from the Prehead, much more detailed and precise, the Lavry is a quality unit for sure. I'm not too sure where I'm headed in terms of getting a dedicated amp but I'm happy with the sound for now.
