RE: Has anyone here been disappointed by "flagship" headphones?

Hi,

We have both these (and more) as in house references at the office.

I would not call the HD-800 bass heavy by any stretch of imagination, rather I would complain that the bass is on the lean side.

The Audeze LCD-2 have a well extent-ended bass, but it could be perhaps a trifle tighter. The HF is a little on the "tame" side.

So what I would like to know is what headphone amplifier you are using. The problem may be on the amplification side, rather than with the Headphone's.

At 20 bits, you are on the verge of dynamic range covering fly-farts-at-20-feet to intolerable pain. Really, what more could we need?
