After following this thread for awhile, I broke down and ordered the HD800's from Headroom last night, but I am not at all surprised to read that the source makes a big difference with these cans. It's the old "garbage in, garbage out" principle. If you have a lousy source, a great can or amp/can combination will only serve to show how bad the source is. With a can as revealing and resolving as the HD800, the source better be up to snuff or the HD800 will shine an unflattering high-beam light on it.
