I like this a lot. I keep wanting to hear the hd800, but all the reviews suggest it is not for me. I'm very treble sensitive. 

You have to drive HD800 w/ OTL tube amp driven RCA clear top or RT tubes. You'll love them. HD800 is one of the phenomenal cans no doubt.

I don't like bright headphones either, but I'm really enjoying the HD800 with the Lyr and a Moon Audio Black Dragon cable. Hopefully be adding a WA2 soon.

That's exactly why I put off the hd800 for so long and went the ortho route without much success( hate bright cans). Finally I caved and went for the HD800, if for nothing else than to do my due diligence before starting to think about Stax land. Admittedly straight from my dx100 they were a little bright for my taste, but they're really a different beast with the crack. To me it sounds sorta like an HD600 on steroids now, but not as warm and bigger soundstage.

that sounds nice - the HD800 is next for me. I think I will like it. I don't find the T1 bright at all so I think the HD800 wont be problematic in that regard. 
 
Using WA2

Thank you. Here's a better picture to show the real color of the components. Pure white & sexy (the DA dac):

Everything about its aesthetics is gorgeous, especially the milky white color. Only thing that bothers me is the font or number font, it reminds me of a microwave timer.....

Nice stuff you all!

The TV screen looks 1-2" too big as well!

The font does not bother me at all. I would walk a mile bare foot across broken glass to listen to that system.

Seven-segment displays are pretty standard in a lot of electronics because of their simplicity.

Crack is up and running, after 8 hours of work, and two hours of troubleshooting. Gotta install the Speedball upgrade next. My soldering iron is taking a much-needed rest.
