I got a new HDMI cord, and after playing around with a bunch of different setting in Windows, I have hdmi working with my A16 :) :metal:

Auromatic 3D is pretty awesome! Well worth the $200. :L3000:

Have you not watched a film yet with your A16?

Not yet. I bought it mainly for music, but I guess I should try a movie.
YES!!!! A great sounding Atmos film is where the A16 shines.

Check out Michael Bay's Ambulance... It's a Wow audio experience!

I’m interested in the Dante version for a conventional 7.2.4 home theater with actual speakers. Does anybody happen to know if it uses a Dante Brooklyn board?

Thought I share something with the HD800s, HD800, and HD8XX owners of our community.

Finally, a bespoke case to keep our precious headphones clean, dust free, and easier to travel with.

New lambskin pads, both fenestrated and smooth are also available as a combo. While I use the fenestrated pads... I can't speak to any sonic differences between the new and old pads... But they do feel comfortable. Much nicer than the ZMF and Dekoni pads I've tried... And with no extra clamp force. Also, unlike others I've tried, the pads fasten and lock onto the headphone frame very well.

Thanks John. That would be great if the HD800 ever left my house. Will take a look at the pads, however.

Welcome... I keep both sets of my 800s in these cases... Much safer there than in the line of Nerf dart fire.

I bought Sennheiser HD800 S headphones twice. I sold the first pair in the summer of 2019 when I had no hope that I would receive my Realiser A16 unit. For both pairs I changed the original pads with Dekoni audio elite fenestrated sheepskin. I second @Litlgi74 ’s opinion that there’re are no major sonic differences but much increased comfort. The carrying case from Jaben seems to be very suitable for HD800 headphones.
