100+ Head-Fier
I actually tested this and it was plenty sufficient with the same amount of detail as any dedicated dac amp.Can MacBook Pro power the HD 800s ?_? Already have a full stack dac/amp but looking for some cans that are portable

That's amazing, thanks for testing !I actually tested this and it was plenty sufficient with the same amount of detail as any dedicated dac amp.
I have and I did. If you are a music lover and appreciate the music and artist's creation instead of listening to capacitors and diodes... then it's heaven.Power Holdings is the American distributor and they have product fact sheets and manuals for all the current Violectric offerings in English.
Other A90 owners think it pairs well? Did they try anything else?

I enjoy listening to music with my $15 IEMs just as much as with HD800s and HD 820.
Serial number 45699, bought new in 2017. I'm still loving my HD800 with tube amps. It's only 4 headphones I keep now along with HD650, Grado GH1 and Susvara. Past headphones used and sold were ZMF Atticus, Eikon, Verite Open, Beyer T1 1 & 2, LCD2, 3, X and 4, HiFiMan Arya. He1000se.
I have the SDR mod but I never install it because I like the original HD800 as it is. I bought a pair of HD800S for my son and I listen to it for a while but still prefer the HD800.
Here's my setup with Yggdrasil original.
What musical genre(s) do you listen to and what cable is that?
I found I'm enjoying my 800s (not S) quite a bit out of my Phonitor 2. I listen mostly to jazz and classic rock.
Is that a Piety? How does it do, going from LCD2 to HD800?Hello,
I think this is the thread for the black HD800S too. Well I just got my dream headphone which have been set to be my login avatar on my laptop for more than 8 years. I don’t know why it took me so much time to buy famous Sennheiser products and I only have my hd6xx for less than a year.
My main headamp is the Zen can signature from Ifi. I love using my hd6xx with it though I know it is not optimized. Tube? Too expensive and I didnt like any entry-level hybrid tube amps that I owned.
For the first minute listening to my hd800s , I prefer its mids to that is on my hd6xx . There is more nuance and detail. Overall sound from the hd800s is more 3D but still cohesive. I remember the silver hd800 was more incoherent, crystalline (colder?) and wider.
I feel the current hd800s has a much more lineage connection with the hd6xx compared to the hd800. Many said the LCD2 is a upgraded headphone for the hd650/6xx but I don’t feel so. They are too different.
I may change my mind latter but for now I actually don’t like to come back to my previously beloved kissmod hd6xx .
Yes that is the Piety. I only use it with my LCD2 because the hd6xx mids out of the Piety is a little simple and 2d compared to that out of my Zen can sig.Is that a Piety? How does it do, going from LCD2 to HD800?
HD800/S are special. One of a kind. I boost the hell out of my HD800 bass with a PEQ low shelf filter, takes them next level, for music and especially movies.
