    I'm interested. Just outside Boston, MA. Can compare to Utopia (which I formerly compared to HD800SDR, which caused me to sell the Senns).

    I'm gonna live vicariously through this one - I can't afford to pay so no play. Clear MG and Clear OG guys are the comparisons I'll be watching for :)

    I'd love to jump in on this one. I can test its capabilities with Yggdrasil A1 and Headamp GS-X Mini. I don't have any HD800 variants in house to compare, but I've heard the HD800 several times.

    I'm in Chicago.

    Fair warning: if you like the HD800 as is or with minor mods, and dislike recessed upper mids like Audeze, then it's best to skip.

    Would it be possible to include a balanced cable with 4-pin XLR? It’s not a dealbreaker, so no worries if it’s not possible.
