I'm looking to upgrade the stock hd800 cable, but spend no more than $400. Is the Cardas-Senheiser HD800 Headphone Upgrade Cable from music direct a decent choice? I'm pairing it with a V200 amp.

I am very happy with my custom HD800 Vanquish (balanced) from Trevor at Norne Audio .
See details in the Norne cable thread here :

Plussound ? you might want to get the 4pin XLR just in case
I really like LR Series Custom Cable.

Im very happy with moon audios stuff, plus they have a "try it" policy I believe. Good luck!
those are cables i'm eyeing too. plusSound looks pretty good too. maybe i'll build one myself.
I've had the moon audio black dragon v2, I ended up selling it because it was just too stiff to work with for me. I prefer a more flexible cable.

They are stiffer then most but I like the guitar cable like sleeving just because they never get tangled or twisted. To each their own.
I have both x4 and x6 series from PlusSound and it's really flexible soft cable which I like a lot.
MoonAudio cables you can build yourself few hundred $ cheaper.
MoonAudio 5ft, HD800 with neutrik 4pin xlr = $290
vs
DIY :
7N UP-OCC $1/ft, need 4 conductors, 5 feet so, $1x5x4 = $20. (6ft if you want to braid)
HD800 connector = $40
Neutrik 4 pin xlr gold = $4.89
Solder + heatshrink + tecflex = $10
TOTAL of $80.
You could build any cable yourself....
Norse sells all the materials for DIY as well.
