  Thanks Jack for the info and must say I am impress with detachable cables Hifier can best match cable synergy. 
 
Enjoy music!

@Audiogalore, how would you compare the listening experience between the HD800 and the T-1?  I have both as well with UP-OCC cable upgrades and would place the HD800 well above the T-1.

Woo-Hoo!  So is the MA-22 in your profile a typo or does it stand for "Maxed-out" WA-22?

Thanks for the heads up

Well that is a very subjective question and statement. Both are very good headphones that have different flavors when it comes to the listening and sound delivery.

Amplifier: WA5
 
WA5 gain set for high gain.
 
T1 has a more balance frequency response thru out the music listening.
 
HD 800 wider sound stage and hotter treble.
 
My ears like the HD800 better for classical music and like the T1 more for smaller room music such as bar cafe type jazz and vocals especially female. 
 
Enjoy music!

For me replacements cable helped lots
Also the wa22 seemed very hot on treble at first but seems to get lots better as it burns in.
Also there's a really simple mod with felt that looks to help. Have to find link

Thanks, my HD800s are my go to headphones and I need to start to leverage the T-1s so I was looking for a subjective opinion.

Sorry, can't help with the sn7 driver types, but the hd800 mod could help.

If you haven't listened yet to the HD800, give it a try first.  You might like the treble the way it is.  If you don't, then mod it.
I still run stock.  I listened to a modded HD800 of a friend.  I didn't like I would loose.  It's just my preference.

Same here treble is not a factor but im no spring chicken either.
