I am running the HD800 with the Audio-gd Reference 10.32. A marriage made in heaven in my opinion, having tried a wolfson amp/ dac which does work well with the slightly brighter HD800 sound, but pcm 1704uk dac of the Reference 10.32 is sublime.
The Ref 10.32 does give a very natural sound. I do have a nfb-8 (wolfson) linked to my speaker system and this sounds fantastic too . I think the main improvement with these beastly ampsand dacs is the power regulation, it so damn black a background. The music literally jumps out of the abyss with no grain or etchiness.
Its a wonderful experience! Interestingly I am not running balanced with my HD800 but possible sonic improvements may be possible going this route. (I have a kit to convert to balanced just need some one to do it for me).
Highly recommended
