AJ it should be a very good setup, I know from not only Dan;s review nut many other that the 800s come alive so much better with a balanced amp/connector setup.

Thx Dave. Was amused to say the least when I unpacked the HDVA amp... NO POWER CABLE !!!
Detail I forgot to remember after I read Dan's and other online reviews. Even McIntosh ships power cable with their unit. Have not yet made the leep into the "exotic" & expensive power or other cable world. AJ

AJ.......Order a couple Wireworld Aurora power cables from Ivan (Masterlu). It won't break the bank and is an excellent performer. I use the Wireworld Aurora power cable on both the Wyred 4 Sound DAC2 and the Sennheiser HDVA 600 headphone amp. Send Ivan a PM. He will treat you right.

I think Ivan has the WireWorld cords that are still very good without getting into the Wireworld Electra 5.2 etc. Still way better than stock and quieter etc.

Could not resist the Woo headphone stand. Comes in single and double.

I use the Sennheiser HH-10 headphone holder and I love it. It is dirt cheap and works great. Sadly, I think it has been discontinued.

Guess I'll resurrect this thread since I just received AJ's HD 800 and HDVA 600 (and the XLR cable to boot). I can't believe he let this rig go, but for whatever reason he did and now I have a Product of the Year headphone rig that sounds amazing! I haven't spent much time with the amp, but the 800's plugged straight into the C2500 sound better than any headphone I've owned or auditioned. The upgrade over my Focal Spirit One's is immediately obvious - overall extended range and a "speaker-like" soundstage (if that makes any sense).
Glad to finally join this club...Better late than never!
