Hello guys~

I'm going to get an upgrade cable for my HD800 and currently only focus on the Cardas Clear and the Siltech duchess crown. Could anyone who used these cables tell me which one is better pairing with the HD800 and what's their advantages compare with each other? I mainly use Chord Hugo to drive my HD800.

I normally listen to pop (female mostly), classic, and jazz.

Thanks!

There are multiple threads specifically about the HD 800 in the Summit-Fi section of the forum.  There is also another section of the forum dealing with cables.  For the most and best discussion, I suggest you join in those existing threads.

I have tried to search multiple forums that relevant to this topic but I don't see any comparison between this 2...

If you are looking for audio improvement for the HD800 be sure to check out the HD800 mods as well.  May save you a bundle.

Thanks for the advise! Will definitely look into the mod. But which company has such modification service? Sorry for asking but I'm new to hifi mod.

There is a video for the mod that I recommend here:

It really tames the treble and to me adds much needed dynamics.
