I just started reading about the Darkforce/La Figaro 336. Anyone have experience or comments on these? They seem like a bargain at $300.

A bit of topic but I'm loosing my patience. Does anyone knows any protective case suitable for HD800 that can be carried on one shoulder? I see some here and here but they are just plain cases without any kind of stripe for carrying. Don't want to have it inside rucksack or some plastic bag etc..

I have the Hippo case from Jaben and it fits the HD800 very nicely.  It has a hand strap on it that could be used to rig up a shoulder strap.  Or, as has been said, you could have someone sew a strap onto it.

Any one else with more input?

I have HD800 into uber bifrost/lyr (toslink, not usb though), and WITH THE RIGHT TUBES, sounds pretty good, though not quite as good as through my Burson Conductor.   By good, I mean solid bass extension and detail, and smooth, extended highs.  They both do a great job with the soundstage.   Sorry, no Woo experience here.

Any one else with more imput, I would love to hear opinions on both of this sit-ups or an alternative option around the same price point.

Does anyone know from experience if a USB with the Lyr Bifrost will sound warmer than with toslink?
 
Just bought another pair of Amperex, this time PQ OG A frames for 39$, Hope these warm up the 800s

I assume you've already done the Anaxilus mod?

Yes, Toslink's bits are transmitted using a red-ish light, which is a warm colour. The warm colour transfers into the bits and results in a warmer, smoother sound.

Will give it a try, forgot about this one. Thanks!

Sorry for those who like it cold, I hear the Andromeda galaxy is nice this time of centennial.

A common misconception due to red shift...lol. The Andromeda galaxy was actually nice 105.3 billion years ago, give or take 10 million years. Its cold as a witches tit now.

And in a few billion years it will merge with us in the Milky Way.

For those that like it hot, there are quite a few hot-spots, so to speak, in that galaxy as well.

I hear no difference between USB and Toslink.. 2012 MacMini > Bifrost Uber.
I found the Amerpex Orange Globes the warmest and smoothest.
No harshness at all with my 21xxx so no Amalex mod for me.
Hope this helps

I don't know of anything offhand, but it looks possible to sew a strap onto those. Also, if you're willing to explore it, the foam factory does custom work.

Thanks guys! Nanuk seems fine. Lol, even polar bear can't get to your HD800 while they're in it. Now only to determine the right size.
