Damn. You need to do the HD800 justice by feeding em with a good amp. Perhaps a Beyer A1

This is my current setup. Bass Guitar unrelated



Philips PSC805(not in pic) Beyerdynamic DT440, Straightwire Musical II, Creek OBH-21SE.

Hoping to upgrade to a HD650 + PCWork's cable soon.

My latest setup

PSC805 -> StraightWire Musicable II -> Creek OBH-21SE > Sennheiser HD650



Next stop probably Cambridge Audio DACMagic...and PC Work's cable...after that probably go speakers

My current setup for my room

DAC and Pre-amp : Creek Audio 50CD (from my PC via Toslink)
Power Amp - Naim NAP100
Speakers - EPOS ELS303

In picture but not in use is a Balanced Audio Technology VK-200 Power amplifier, which I'm going to send for service as the left channel is currently buzzing. Hoping to fix it coz I really love this amplifier very much.

I get tighter bass impact and more soundstage depth from the speakers. I'm actually sitting on a bed when listening and hence my listening position is higher compared to sitting on a regular chair/sofa. Hence the need to elevate my speakers from the floor.

Always loved the look of the McIntosh. For stereo amp it always strike me as an amp which is not fussy accuracy and hence it can be enjoyed by anyone in the room without the need to be at the optimum position. Care to give the overall impression of their headphone Amp?
