The Mjolnir is coming back to me today but I'm not home to pick it up so probably later this week I will be able to try them.
 
Right now the HD800 is my favorite headphone and pretty much suits me perfectly. The HE-6 I haven't had much time yet since I'm using the D1 dac/amp until my Mjolnir returns but it will have to be realy good to surpass the HD800. When I have a fair comparison which will be with that amp then i will know but it will take something special to surpass the HD800.

 
I think, in my experience, the only thing the HE-6 significantly passes the HD-800 in is bass.  The HD-800 sounds more open, has better separation, is more comfortable, and goes toe to toe in most other areas.  The only reason I use the HE-6 over the HD-800s is when I want more bass.  Bass aside, the HE-6s are a step above in most areas over the LCD-2.2s when amped properly, but I still prefer the LCD-2s because of the signature Audeze sound and oh, that sweet luscious bass.  I just can't go without it...  If bass was not something I was too concerned with, I'd go with the HD-800s and be done with it.  No second guesses or doubts about it.

 
Do you have a Gungnir on order? I bet your tune will change about the HD800's bass when you get that dac in your chain. The LCD-2's bass is a bloated fart cannon in comparison.

Sorry to stray from topic, but I do, in fact.  It hasn't shipped yet but should this week.   Then I will have the Gungnir / Mjolnir stack.  I am looking forward to trying the combo with all of my headphones.  Thanks for your input on what to expect though.

Did you buy your HE-6 used? Because that's the old v1 with heatshrink cable. I hate it, it touches my shoulders. Do you always have both headphones connected?

Yes I got mine used. I don't mind the old cable but I was not aware there were multiple cables. I had originally hoped I could run both at the same time but the two headphones I use with that amp do not have similar specs so one either runs too loud or not loud enough. I just had them both plugged in at the time.

Mine right now; not nearly as awesome of parts as some of the ones in here but oh well.

thats a great clean setup.
put those speakers on some cinder blocks or something
im a fan of those pioneers.  Killer small bookshelves.
 
which senn's are those?

 

[28980]

hd 558s; cinderblocks.. are ugly though. I'm trying my hand at some woodworking this winter break with a friend. hopefully it doesn't look like a "5th grade arts and craft project" as he predicts it to turn out as.

I'm running a pair of those as rear surrounds in my home theater setup. I use these stands:

They come with plastic feet and carpet spikes.

Thanks for the tip! I just spent like $400 monday so probably won't get those. I think DIY home project would be more fun anyways no matter how poorly it turns out, I like giving stuff a go myself sometimes. If that ends up going bottoms up; well I can always buy a premade one sometime later. 
 
Edit:
 
Also, just curious do you use the c21 and fs51's for your surround system or something else? I might upgrade eventually but not sure about what matches with what generally.

I actually use a pair of Magnepan MGII's as mains, one Polk Monitor 7C as the center, and the Pioneer BS21's as the rears. Also running a Cambridge Basscube 8. It's a bit of a mix, but it sounds good to my ears 

 
Although, sticking with the Pioneer towers, center, and sub isn't a bad way to go. They sound very good for their price point.
