Don't know... I am thinking the regular HD-800, since I am not bothered by the treble spike I keep reading about (at least when I've listened at meets) and they are quite bit less $$$.
I've auditioned Audeze, but the comfort factor was a problem for me.

Yeah I feel you on the weight of the Audeze. It surprisingly was a better experience than Hifimans. Audeze's earpads are big and deep which was nice, but the headband back then was bad. The LCD-2.2 pre-fazor was my favourite from their lineup.
I ask about the HD 800 because you can't EQ the BDP-1
I've used the HD 800 without EQ fed by BDP-1 and A+ for years and it's fine for a lot of stuff without being harsh. When I listen to EQ'd version on A+ and then go to the BDP-1 right away, I can notice the inherent clarity of the BDP-1, but the sound does feel fatiguing. It's a mixed bag. That's why I have been thinking of adding another headphone that sounds great without any EQ and can utilize the BDP-1. The 2016 LCD-2 perhaps. I don't know if they have turned things around yet in terms of comfort or sound?
Just got a black Gumby in, warming up to do comparison with dac-19 in order to decide which to keep. Leaning towards Gumby. WIll know better in a few days after Gumby gets warmed up and settled in. If so then its time to add Freya!
I've always though the "Gumby" is some sort of homebrew slash DIY slash small private company product like the Bottlehead Crack or something, then I googled.
I feel so dumb right now.
Thinking getting a bimby or gumby in the future, but I'm pretty much set as far as my bedroom setup goes. Could probably use a few more posters though.

That is either the Koss or Realistic vintage headphone in the poster. I purchased them in 1981 and they were my main headphones for years and years. They were about $100 in 1981.
