I've replied you in the Senn thread and just thought i would add more here, since the info here is slightly more than over there.
the HD800 is definitely gonna be a step up, technical performance-wise. While the HD800 is not that hard to drive, you really need a full desktop setup (reads a good desktop amp & source) to really showcase its capabilities.
IMO you have 2 options here now:
1. get the HD800 and build a desktop setup around it.
2. If you still want a transportable setup - you should consider getting other headphones that would pair up with the amps you mentioned.
So it looks like either I upgrade my home setup and stay homebound, or abandon the dream of a transportable setup from the way it was advised by you two.
I've read the same pairing recommendation about the Burson Audio on HeadFi. The reason I was semi-hopeful was the Headfonia review on the Just Audio AHA-120, that made me think it was possible to do the transportable setup.
I hate the fitment of the Audeze, and have tried the T1 and hadn't really got me thinking day and night to get it.
Sigh, looks like it's a no go for me. But I should thank you for saving me from an investment that I might well regret later on.
