Yes it is. And as gastroenterologists would say, this pile of Schiit is "distinct, well formed, and easy to pass."

@AthenaZephyrian Is that a Smok Baby Prince I see thar?

that it is! I used to have an Alien and an AL85, but both of them had problems with faulty microUSB ports.

Thank-you. It’s somehow a way to make the Z7 pretty much perfect with electronic music. The system probably excells with EDM the most?

I still need to get an AudioQuest Carbon or Cinnamon USB to complete the system. Supposedly the upgrade takes the dock to a new level of source. Strangely I’ve been in love with old-fashon redbook with a CD transport, but the Z1 and dock configuration beats it?

The aging Sony Z7 flagship headphone may look classy BUT it has a tacky nightclub tone, which somehow goes with EDM. I just need to spray some cheap cologne on the Z7s to complete the effect.

How do you like the HD820, on my list for a listen?

I've actually been writing up a review for the Hifiheadphones blog, they are really good when paired with the right amp. I found them to sound excellent out of the Burson Fun with V6 Vivid op-amps.

Excellent tonality and body without sacrificing too much detail, very open sounding for a closed back headphone and I can't hear any of the typical drawbacks of a closed design. I really wanted to try and be critical of them, and find something that I didn't like, or that they did wrong. But I ended up enjoying them a lot, more than I wanted to.

Take the HD800s, decrease the soundstage a little, make them a little less resolving but add more realistic body and decay, a little extra low end warmth, and you get a more natural tonality overall. That is the HD820 to my ears.

My problem with the HD800 and HD800s is that, yes they are incredibly revealing and open, but they just don't quite sound real to my ears comparing them to live music. That is why I always preferred the Beyerdyanamic T1 2nd gen, they just sound a bit more tonally accurate. I also find the soundstage to sound a little artifical on the HD800/HD800s.

Very neat setup.

I'd be happy to hear your impressions about the Taurus. How neutral is it? The output power is quite amazing but how do you find the treble? Is it not too strong?
