Any one here try WyWires cables with the HD 800S?
I use the Wywires Platinum cable. This cable opens up the whole soundscape.
MBP → SDragon → Mojo → AQ Sky → LC → Wywires Platinum → HD 800S

Only the first track? dab rye remix is pretty cool to

They actually remind me of Portico Quartet but a little different......
To those of you who compared the HD 800 to the HD 800 S... do any of you feel the S sounds slightly veiled compared to the original? I heard both and choose the S but I wasn't listening to a very good source when I made the decision. Just curious if the original is really noticeably less 'veiled'/more detailed.
I have an HD 800 S and absolutely love it! Upgraded from HD 650 and man what a huge difference.
Right now I am running a Burson Conductor SL 9018 and although it seems like quite a nice DAC + AMP, I can't help but feel the 800 S can do a lot more. Especially since when A-Bing between my motherboard sound card (which has a amp+dac built in) and the Burson I only found the Burson to be slightly better.
My budget is up to about 5,000 $ total but less would be great.
For Amps I'm thinking of the Simaudio Moon neo 430 HA, Ragnarok, Master 9, Auralis MK 2, headamp gsx Mk 2
For DACs I'm thinking On board DAC of the 430 HA, Yggy [Im leaning heavily towards Yggy], Master 7.
Any thoughts on these or votes for any other options?
Have you tried tubes, or are you trying to stick with solid state?
On the DAC side of the equation, if Yggy is an option, Yggy is the answer
Hey Sheldaze, ya I think probably I would prefer SS's crisp precise sound which I tend to enjoy although maybe I would like some tubes? Do you recommend any for the HD 800 S ?
I think you are totally right Shel, Yggy might be the way to go.
Any thoughts on SS amps or specific tubes?
