that being said, the nfb-27 is a damn good DAC/amp for the asking price.
As i have said before, Ferrucio Lamborghini went from manufacturing farm tractors, to high end sports cars.
Actually there's a lot more similarities there beyond the square wave plots (30 and 300Hz). The frequency responses are fairly similar, the distortion seems a bit better on the Abyss, but the impulse response is quite a bit better on the HE400s. Price difference = $5100.
I'd say you'd benefit more if you invest on better DAC & Amp first before.jumping on the abyss...
+9000 or any serious headphone for that matter.

Hmm...The reason why I didnt was because some people regard audio-gd products to sound as good as something twice as expensive. They don't look the best but they have really high specs and are very cheap for the given specs.
Anyway, one day in the distant future (when I have the funds) I may get a cavalli.
NFB-27 is a 1500$ DAC/Amp
2x1500 = 3000$, I don't think a DAC + an amp with total cost of 3000$ to be enough to drive Abyss well...
I just got my Abyss ab-1266.
In comparison to the HD800, I would say that it is a better headphone.
It has much better bass, at least as much detail (maybe a little bit more so far), wider (and maybe deeper) soundstage, and a more enjoyable sound signature.
The Sennheiser had equal or slightly better instrument placement (really hard to tell) and comfort.
This very brief analysis is without performing any burn in. The amp used was an audio-gd nfb-27.
The materials used on this headphone are top notch. Solid and cleanly built. Feels very robust.
