Headphoneus Supremus
Okay, I think I may have not been clear regarding what I was asking based on the responses I'm getting. I've dealt with balanced amps and cables before, and so know the inherent benefits of going balanced. I was looking for something along the line of:
Consistent:
1) Same balanced DAC
2) Same balanced headphone amp
3) Same pair of headphone (HD 800)
Varying:
1) The different brands of the balanced cables for HD 800 (e.g. Norse Balanced vs. CH 800 S vs. WyWorld Balanced vs. Cardas Clear Balanced).
(I figured I would ask for balanced as people are more likely to spend on an aftermaket cable when its a balanced cable as opposed to a single ended one. The comparison could also be done on a single ended amp with various cables, and I would be open to those comparisons as well. As long as we're comparing apples with apples.)
Im supposed to be shipped DHC prion 4 balanced cable soon. Looks like a new baby may have delayed production some, notorious long lead times, but when i get it ill give the heads up. But i suspect since DHC C4 Single ended was superior to stock, balanced will be more of the same and then some....
