1+ for Norne Litz copper cables, next up would be Litz silver cables for 800S
Having tried the Sony Kimber, this awesome lavricables grand silver cable, they do make a small difference, but nothing compared to the magnitude mains filtering had on my TA while i had it. If you plan to keep using it might want to get a filter from someplace with a 30 day return policy.
Wow that is very interesting... So the drivers are obviously capable. How come you sold yours?!
There is 820 . Not my cup of tea but it has the same driversBecause I need maximum isolation and those open back hd800s are so open that its like not wearing headphones at all. No seal no good for my environment...
Probably for the bestTo be honest, I don’t really want to invest any more money in the TA. I barely use it these days, and will most likely end up selling it by the end of the year. The DMP is getting all the love now

LOL!!! Honestly , I am with you!!! Back when I tried them out including DMP, I was more impressed with Stellia , Z7MKII, and 800S (which is already mine)....not anything else that rung the bells....including empyreanAaa no I didn't like it either he, I like the Z7M2 more maybe once I receive my dmp I will go try those to see how it sounds .
I think z1r are better then hd820, bigger drivers
You may need to summon @purk , and ask him to compare it with Qualia Q10 too ...I am always jealous with the guy and his Q10/R10 collectionContemplating a Z1R or Stellia. Can anyone compare the Z1R to the old CD3000?
That’s the last Sony headphone I had that I liked.
Had the SA5000 after it and quickly got rid of it because I didn’t care for the sound.
I do think the HD800s is really source dependent. It sounded nice with the Taz but with the DMP, it's a whole different level of clarity. The thin sound profile is still there but the pinpoint accuracy is something else.
I don't know why but at the moment, I still prefer the MDR-Z1R on the Taz over the DMP. The soundstage sounds bigger and everything is more intense on the DMP but perhaps i like a bit more of the calmness from the Taz.

Needless to say that I keep dreaming of 800S with Dynamic slam of Utopia LOL!!!!
It is like a closed back Utopia with better Bass (more refined) , definitely a better one than Z7 MKIII was thinking of the stellia as an upgrade over the Z7M2 but not 100% do you know if kimber kable can connect into them?
So you heard stellia with dmp? How was it?
This reminds me of the people on the Dave forum saying everyone should mod the Dave with a 4k power supply. By that point you're better off buying another piece of gear a couple of years down the line.It is very hard to admit the DMP is better than TA, and wait until you can use dedicated LPSU for DMP
