Relative to stock?  No.  The CSDs shown are uncovered so you can judge stock (covered) versus modded (uncovered).  Of course you could keep the covers on if you like that sound better.  I can't say what is too bright or not bright enough for other people.  I can say I usually have an aversion to anything in front of my drivers whether headphones or speakers.  It's something my ears pick up immediately and annoys me immensely, pulls me right of the music. 

Just do whatever sounds best to you.


I used to run out direct out of my TC Electronic Konnekt 8. I tried it today with the Geek 450 -> leckerton UHA-6mk2, and was pleasantly surprised by the huge difference. I'm afraid that the dac/amp combo I have used for so many years isn't nearly as good as I thought it was. Saving up for a Gungnir + Valhalla 2 combo to use with my HD800 and Paradox headphones, but for now the Geek Out + UHA-6 is the best combo I have here.

Sorry for my poor English. It's definitely better than stock, more smooth and relaxing but I think stock is still the best in imaging and transparency.

Regards,
Jeremiah


Your English is fine.  My point is I have never heard a properly modded HD800 have worse imaging and transparency than stock.  if you'd like to post a pic of your mods maybe we could find out why you hear it as such.  That, or our definitions of imaging and transparency are different.

Crossing my fingers for the kit to be available in 2015.

In the meantime, I have a couple of questions about the method for anax 2.0.
With my understanding, I'm supposed to:
- cut the creatology foam with the ring on the left of purrin's PDF cutout
- cut the non-slip carpet material with the size of the right on the right of purrin's PDF cutout
- put the non-slip material on top of the foam
- leave the dust cover out.

I hope I didn't mess up with any steps. Or did I? p:/

try the non-slip rug stuff by itself first. If you enjoy it, skip the creatology.

Thanks ZF. I've been using CTH so it's been taking the edge off of the higher end so the brightness doesn't stand out to me that much.
But I'm in transition between amp and I will be with UHA-6smkii until the Rag comes in early Jan (ojala).

I stole the materials inside Anax's HD800 for the good of everyone who's waiting for 3.0. Now he has to get back to work on making another one or face the wrath of the face-tweeter.  :)p3
