OMG BEST IDEA EVER.... a Spiderman lunchbox!

Just welcome my HD800 home today.  It will be long nights for a few days...  I'll re-terminate the cable in 4 pin XLR when the plug comes in.

I wish someone still made those old Altoid cmoy tube amps I saw floating around years ago. Super cute.

I think I have finally gained some ground in my love hate HD800 relationship. Finally got my Furutech iHP-35Hx cables for my HD800. There were a few postings on these here some months back and ever since seeing the pics I had been very curious. I finally managed to track down a North American supplier (Parts Connexion) and even managed to get a discount.
 
I gather the stock cables are quite silver in composition and changing them out has been a positive change so far. The high end glassiness and harshness is gone and there is much more mid detail as opposed to the detail being all in the highs before. Great looking cables, although not in the fancy braided audiophile style and the 1.3M length is just right for me. This is literally the first time I have even toe tapped with the HD800. Pretty pleased with these so far.

The stock cable is OFC...not that it makes a difference.
 
At least you're happy; that's what matters!

 

[James-uk]

Palmfish . Thank you. That is all.

Yeah I built a balanced one. This amp is seriously good. You don't even realize it's powered on, dead quiet. There is no shortage of power, approx. 7W into 100 ohms, and I can't even measure the output impedance with a standard DMM. Music is effortless, airy, and is the most transparent headphone amp I have never heard lol! I am currently using it with just the DA8's preamp output, but I can tell it deserves more. I wouldn't hesitate to put this in front of a much costlier DAC. Bass is also incredible, but it has no bloom, so what you get is exactly what your DAC is capable of. It really is a gem, and I can't believe no one else around here hasn't thought of getting this amp. It's also quite small, and I am wanting to put either a Khozmo or Alps quad pot inside the box. If I was to sum up this amp in one word it would be "pure".

Best,
Brunk

Congrats on the successful build brunk! I was wondering when you were going to resurface to share some impressions! Figured you must be too busy enjoying the music. What are your primary phones going to be now?

My boards are still sitting in their envelopes - going to have to get it in gear one of these days and check to see whether all the parts are available again. Here's hoping the se se version sounds akin to the bal bal.

It's more than likely that your mind is doing a great deal on this sonic change. Maybe the cables did make a change slightly, but generally it doesn't make that big of a difference. It's so small that even on some days you'll find the stock cables sound exactly the same and or even slightly better. The mind is a very powerful thing.

Yeah, I had some stuff to re-order (first-time build woes) but it got it straightened out. My primaries will be the HE-6, and HE-500 as secondary. I am not sure if I will get another headphone in the near future because I am quite pleased with what I have already. Plus, a lot of listening now is with my horns....dat magic midrange! 

 If anything, I am going to get a NOS DAC and mod it real good. I am super interested in the BottleHead DAC too though.
 
Good luck with your build as well.

 

[MickeyVee]

Let me know what you think. (edit: re-read your post - my findings also - I got the 3M) When I did some research here it was poo-pooed. Got it (anyway) at TAVES from Charles @ Headfone Shop.  I also have a Q cable but use iHP the most of the time.  Saving the Q for the LCD-X.  It is a beautiful cable. This should be stock with the HD800

What was it that you built? I am starting building this year as well. I'm thinking of starting with the RJM Audio Sapphire and moving on to other things from there.

I finally bit the bulitt and ordered the hdvd800, which arrives tomorrow. Should be a fun way to see in the new year.

B,
 
Ever thought about building a super symmetry Dynahi?
