Thanks, I understand. Funny, everyone's perception is different.
Hi
I haven't read through 83 pages of stuff but I had a couple of hopefully quick questions;
1) Are the HD800S still well powered by the Crack Amp with Speedball?
2) Is it cheaper to purchase in Germany? I am likely there in 2 months time.
3) Anyone have a pair to sell ?

2. Probably yes. Anyhow try Meier Audio (also online). I've bought my pair from them and I must say that I'm fully satisfied: blazing fast replies to any question, good price (at least I couldn't find any better) including shipping to South Korea!. If you go in Germany and buy there VAT will apply! If you are from EU then anyhow you will pay it, if you are from non EU country then it will be ~20% less. My advice contact Jan Meier and I think that you will not be disappointed.
3. No chance. But again if you look around who knows. I want to say that I was waiting a lot to take my decision (I could not test them here where I live) because I've found a lot of opinions that beside the overall positive feedback still some complains were raised. Then I've noticed that almost all look the same and my impression was that some people just repeat them without even experiencing or sometimes having a clue about what they were speaking about... Anyhow to make it short maybe you are lucky and find this type of "complainer" that will sell it at a discount.

Good luck with any path that you take.
Price in Germany is the same as anywhere else in Europe. 1598/1600 euro's. I still find it weird that it is cheaper in the United States. Especially since it it produced in Germany and not in the USA. It should cost there 1768 dollars and not 1600 dollars.
Yes it looks to works out cheaper to buy in the USA which is an option for me even though I am in NZ. I had hoped because I was buying closer to the source that they would be cheaper there (Germany) but apparently not. I guess I won't be buying an Audi, BMW or Porsche when I am there either!

Can anyone here recommend an AMP/DAC for the 800S ? somewhere in the 400 dollars range.
Apogee One or spend a little more and go for the Duet.
