About that Marble thingy, judging from how HDVD800 sounds(dac wise).. I think it's gonna sound the same poo

Agreed. But hey, look at all the Senn amp/DAC buyers. It was designed by Sennheiser so it must be the perfect match for their headphones.

Too bad they couldn't put a lock on it this time around. Who knows maybe bass heavy and more expensive limited edition with a gold lock and diamond encrusted keys will come out later ;-).

I just cant fathom who would actually want such ludicrous "features". It's gonna be $40k and it would cost half that if it didnt have the pointless motorization and fucking marble. Why??? This isn't luxurious, it's retarded.

Wait, wait, wait. Marble? Motorized tubes? A jack-in-the-box headphone presentation?

In something that's 1000x uglier than the original Orpheus?

And in an all-in-one, conveniently non-upgradable package, so you'll be stuck with the DAC du jour for the next 10 years?

...alll while you try to sell Urbanites to millennials with truly disturbing (and condescending) marketing?

How far you have fallen, Sennheiser. And how sad.

Is the headphone box actually part of the chassis?

Good point. Might make it worth the price alone. Problem is everyone will think your name is Sennheiser.

The only thing that could possibly make these headphones more cool are $40,000 3D printed customized shields made out of rhodium.
