^Jamie, that is a beautiful Amp, did you do the woodwork or did the kit include the casing?
Been trying out a new diy amp with my HD800's the Nelson Pass ACA one of his jfet single ended class A mono block designs with 6W output! I built it to try with some full range speaker drivers and my HE-6 but its also been doing a great job with the HD800's as well
Have a couple of mods in mind to make it a bit more headphone user friendly.

Looks good, man. Any photos of the rear or the inside?
Hi,
Anyone had success in using the HD800 with a Sony PS4 for console / gaming with virtual surround sound?
What kind of setup do you use for that?
Thanks!

.. I had a cable commissioned by Charleston cable company (I've never bought from them before and customer service seems to be very good). I just have to deal with that long stock cable for a week or so.
If I can snag this pair of HD800's from Craigslist I will just run it like I run my TH900's. Game Console -> Astro Mixamp (which will provide the virtual surround sound) -> Amp of your choice -> HD800.
The Astro Mixamp part you can change to whichever surround sound device you want to use (X7, Turtle Beach DSS, Creative Recon 3D, etc.)
Chris' cables are terrific.. and he's a excellent guy to deal with. I've had C3 cables (and interconnects) in the past and was very happy with the quality (and performance.. if you're into that side of things w/ cables).
He seems to go under the radar (similar to Ted from headphone lounge) so easier to provide good customer service and quicker turnaround time assuming it is a one person operation.
Hopefully this is my last expensive purchase for a while..I need to stop looking at the FS forums. Almost my entire setup is from impulse purchases...
How do you like the bass compared to the HE-6 I sold you?
The HE-6 bass was definitely better than the HD800. I'm not talking just volume or kick but in general. The bass quality of the HE-6 and that it is visceral (with the right amp) makes it hard to beat.
What port do you use to connect from the Mixamp to the amp?
Is the "stream out" port the one to use? Does it function like a "line out"?
Do you have two volume controls active at the same time? The astro volume and the amp volume?
If so, where do you set your astro volume for best quality?
Thanks!
