Hehe I can give a slightly better price for the HD700 if you're interested

Haha, maybe only... but high chance i won't since i haven't sold the HD700 
Are you interested? I'll give you a sweet deal

Hehe. Don't blame me man. They just sound that good. I didn't do anything.

But on a side note. If I had to pick one, I would pick the HD700 over the HD800. Just a preference towards the sound signature and presentation.
Damnit Problem! Not like he doesn't have enough upgraditis already!

Difference in preferences, I've known someone whom I met at KLAV last year who swore on the HD600 up till now and build his rig around it. Up until early this year he told me he got the HD800 after all this while and now finds it difficult in pairing a proper amp with it hahaha.

As taken from Jude's comments
"It is not a ring driver. It is a 40mm driver, but it is definitely not the same driver as the HD 600 or HD 650. You can see it when you look at all of those drivers. And you can hear it when you listen to all of those headphones."

But i can guess who told you that, since he is quite biased towards HD700 and me for selling cheap i think lol

Oh he already made that comment months before I created that thead since I did mention it before in the headphone recommendation thread 

how about Sony and Denon?

Didn't I tell you the other day, coming from hi-fi. Literally almost all closed cans sounds like absolute garbage in terms of sound stage reproduction and inability to produce low end bass.

Those the new cans, rm550

thx
have been using xonar essence stx for bout 7 yrs though i believe the 598 doesn take much amping to shine

Dear sifus here,

Pliz recommend an amp that goes well with a HD800.

The Benchmark is nice but if the build quality of the DAC1 HDR USB is anything to go by (as I own one) I'll give it a pass.

I doubt the Cambridge's headphone amp is any good, but the Cavalli is very nice and extremely interesting. I think I'll have a closer look at that.

Was thinking of going overkill and building an even more lavish B22 balanced like I did for my HD650s. But I don't have the luxury of time I guess.

Another contender would be the Gracedesign M920 but I haven't seen much of it around.

Hi guys, totally new to the whole audiophile environment. I just purchased a 598 recently and i was thinking of getting a portable amp+dac. Do i require any additional cables?  and i know this gonna sound silly but i normally listen with my phone (im on the go alot so yeah @_@) so anything extra to top on that?

Samsung Note 3. I did check with some they say not many support android devices. I was looking at the Fiio E10k but unfortunately the seller told me it does not support android. So in your opinion the headset itself is suffice enough for the sound quality alone?
Any sellers you would recommend? i am still doing my research on this
