Should be a enough power. Every headphones needs eq though.
Need a tube amp--LOL--how ridiculous. My 800S do quite well on a Fiio 7.
I feel like everyone on here blindly recommends tubes without ever having tried them. I have a tube amp it's maybe 5% different from my FiiO K5 pro.
Thank you--finally!!! There is one other person who understands the placebo effect. By the way the few blind studies done kind of confirm what you said.
If you find that the hd800s need warmth (distortion), plug them into a tube amp. I like this combo when listening to jazz. Otherwise, mojo2 drives them very cleanly.
I have the C200 and the HD 800, and they work together just fine. No undue sibilance or unnatural tendencies in terms of timbre. At the same time, it's a far cry from the warmth and fluidity that some tube amps tend to add to the presentation. But still, no problems with that pairing whatsoever.
Probably an obvious answer but; I'm assuming that warmth that tube amps add to the HD800S can somewhat be rectified with EQ?
Currently I'm eyeing the Xduoo TA-22 if I were to end up pairing the HD800S with a tube amp; would anyone happen to have any experience or thoughts on it?
