Indeed. Unlike the cable which broke before I managed to test the recabled HD800.  sweat.gif

sadly the workmanship of the person i commisioned to build in SG is way not into my expectation.......
broke bout 3 times and now i getting really frustrated with it ... have to go back and shoot him vmad.gif
but i can attest that pcwork's workmanship is one of best and can compare to Aftermarket cables selling in Headfi (hint hint APS and Double Helix )..... thumbup.gif

Too bad I didn't took the pic where we tested if putting RM50 under the amp improves sound quality or it's plain placebo.  rolleyes.gif
LOL

Anyway the HD800 is much harder to drive with stock cable even there is a larvy DA11, HD800 is very choosy type of amp. After i have a talk with Sep90 on this cans...i know the charateristic of this HD800 is much polite and dark in every angle of sound which this is stock calbe. After i try the recable cable, the HD800 is much more musical and more emotional on it and the sound is not too dark and can feel the bass but still not fully come out the potential of the CAN. As i say earlier this HD800 is much choosy his another pair amp with it. Anyway is a great meet we have there and has been almost more than 9 months didn visit Pcwork. Ever then his speaker is make alot progress and upgrade on it. I look forward to have more gathering either mini session with everyone here who like to joining into Audiophile world. Bear in mind your Wallet SURE  will deeply pain. Haha..as i recalled and check my history on spend 3 highend CAN in a same year which during 2008. This is much to my improvement. Hope next year more and more people to joining in to the TT session. Those who didn attend the TT on the last friday, no worries i think our organizer Eiraku will arrange more meet.

akabane bro if u getting the hd800 ... u will need to do an overhaul of total setup...
afterall hd800 need good source, and preferably tube amp or warm solid state amps to make it sings it's guts out or it cannot perform at it's stellar performance..very plain since the hd800 is very neutral and demanding sweat.gif

ok, finally done with my business, been busy for 2 days straight biggrin.gif

some thoughts about the HD800, first, the earcup is HUGE, like bro pcwork said, the 1st headphone you can see with your own eyes while you're wearing it laugh.gif And it's pretty heavy, I cant help noticing it's weight while I'm wearing it sweat.gif

As for the sound, I'm not a fan of Sennheiser all the time, currently this is the only Sennheiser that is acceptable for me, the sound is neutral and slightly laid back, definitely not on the warm side. Pairing it with the Lavry DA11 gives a very very clean sound......to the point that it sounds sterile and lifeless sweat.gif , all of us agreed that the DA11 internal amp is not a good choice for the HD800, something like a tube or warm SS should be a better pair. Using the DA11 as DAC and connecting it to sep90's Audiotrak inamp gives it a much warmer sound and some bass, which makes the HD800 much more pleasant to listen to.

The HD800 really is very sensitive to the equipment used to drive it, one advice for anyone who wish to get it, make sure your source and amp are up to par biggrin.gif

Anyway in the gathering the headphone I like the most is akabane's vintage woody(ATH-W10VTG) thumbup.gif
*
thanks for the impression Sieg laugh.gif thumbup.gif
as he mentioned, hd800 is very neutral and camoulflage to every equipments used to exploit it's soundsignature
and if u spending bout Rm 6k to Rm 7k for this can...make sure yur equipments at least on same level with it
as all audiophiles would agree, rubbish in rubbish out......the hd800 will show u the flaws of yur total setup

Planning secretly to hijack Sep's shipment  drool.gif Any gd headphone to recommend for HD650 upgrade? Is the new HD650 better than the old HD650? Does it has the same sound signature as the old one?
*
hmm u can get my maverick dac/amp ...it is a solid state dac with tube preamp....very versatile and have usb input...
if u r worried it cannot drive the sens....then u r in luck....drove my all my senheissers even my hd800, k701 , and dt880 beautifully......
it is used for my pc and it has forwards mids, slightly warm soundsignature and very very slamming bass.....hd800 with it will wake up or other cans that requires pure driving power...onli thing it doesnt have the range and soundstage as huge as my balanced amps
the newer ones has silver drivers which not so veilly ( well to me it is still veilly sweat.gif ) but the older version rclxub.gif very very veilly,and no kick ....
