Listened for the past 2 hours and gotta say it goes like this
Modded HD800 >= HD800s > Unmodded HD800
The 6K peak feels overly damped than it should than the modded HD800 which loses its sparkle in the highs. Will listen to it more over the week.
Edited:
PS: HD800s joke that pissed many head fi fanboys who don't get sarcasm.
That video reminds me the driver issue in HD518, HD558 and HD598: same drivers but different housing and numbers of absorber etc. Eventually it comes out with famous HD558 mod
And so the Graham Slee Solo amplifier, the difference between the ultra linear and normal version: additional cable
Back to HD800, my first impression of HD800 is huge soundstage, very clear seperation, sharp vocal. It is worst to my ears especially paired with HDVD800. And many reviews comment on HD800 that it is a very hard to find suitable DAC and AMP.
So, I am not sure whether HD800S can be easily paired with any DAC and AMP or not.
