HD800S paired with SMSL C200? in c/headphones@hi-fi.community
[โ€“] M_RiGGz@alien.top 1 points 9 months ago

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?

Probably an obvious answer but; I'm assuming that warmth that tube amps add to the HD800S can somewhat be rectified with EQ?

HD800S paired with SMSL C200? (alien.top)
 

Hey everyone,

I decided to bite the bullet and grab a set of the HD800S while they're on sale. My current equipment just involves the SMSL C200 dac amp which is powering my current headphones (ATH R70X).

I've been doing some more research after ordering the HD800S and I've been seeing a lot of people saying that you "need" a Tube Amp for these; is this true by any means? I don't have much experience with them.
