'Singer's hi-fi setup. She's using Leben.
Can you guess who is she?
HD800 works fine. Leben is not dead silent when no music is playing, at least with most headphones. I don't understand why that is so important, I never listen to it without music.

Thanks for the link. The pictures are grabbed from a video. Here is a link to the video with Norah Jones playing vinyl and Leben. Interesting video although with some dumb questions in the interview, typical television style.

My CS300 landed this afternoon (not the XS model).
The headphone output was tested shortly with my LCD-2 and HE-6. On the first few tracks - and at moderate levels - it sounded fine with my HE-6, but then I put on the Prelude from Carmen by Bizet and turned up a little, not much. That was it: Distortion as clear as daylight. This amp is NOT driving the HE-6 to anything beyond quiet to moderate levels. That was frankly surprising to me, because even the Balanced amp card in my HM-801 drives it cleanly and distortion-free to at least the same level if not higher levels.
Then I plugged in the Audeze. CS300 has just enough power, maybe not quite - time will tell, to drive the LCD-2. This headphone needs 22.6 times less power than the HE-6 (according to Inner Fidelity measurements). At the same time it isn't dead silent when no music plays. Hmmm. This was not what I had hoped for.
The idea was to get the HD800 for it, but if there is hiss from a headphone with a sensitivity of 91dB, then what do I expect from a 102dB 'phone? Of course the Sennheiser is 350 Ohm and the Audeze is about 50 Ohm, but still... Anyone with an informed opinion?
