Guys, I've decided to pick either of those two.
I currently have the following setup :
 
Desktop PC > Flac - > Focusrite Saffire pro 24DSP -> SPL Auditor -> Ultrasone pro 900
 
I plan on buying HD800 at the end of the month or so.
I wonder what would complement the SPL Auditor the most focusing on amplifing the HD800 and ofcourse giving me maneuvering when I decide to explain my headphones collection.
 
I've heard wonderful things on both amplifiers it just depends with what I would benefit and enjoy more. I have no experience with tube amps..
 
I currently run the Auditor using a balanced input from XLR to Saffire TRS.. I wonder if I should invest in an balanced amp or not though I don't know if I would notice a difference using a balanced headphones output... the DNA Sonett I've been offered is the balanced one.
 
Anyways to cut this story short, I need your advices!!
 
Thank you very much,
 
Gidi.
 
I'm addicted to upgrade (c)

The Auditor (do you own it?) i would sell and upgrade to either a Phonitor or a Luxman and that should run the HD800 perfectly.

Higher impedance cans will benefit with balance; about 300 and up. I don't like violectric because of no XLR output... perhaps unnecessary to worry about. But I would choose Violectric over DNA anyways.

Why? I've heard great things about the DNA and the synergy with the HD 800...

On reputation alone in Germany. Utterly neutrel, hear how headphones and recordings are meant to sound like.
