I already acknowledged “untapped potential” in my previous posts when I alluded to having a THX AAA 789 and it being better than the G6, remember? I assume you’re not suggesting that the HEL can unlock (more) untapped potential in the HD800s that the THX cannot. . .!? ;-pWell if they sound good to you then keep on enjoying them. But know there is an untapped potential hiding in there.
As for Hel, you can plug both usb cables into your source device, with one used only to provide power to Hel, it doesn't necessarily have to be a wallwart (as long as the usb port provides required power for Hel to operate).
It’s the degree of untapped potential that the HEL might unlock in excess of the G6 that I am not sold on enough to fork out a couple of hundred more.
As for wall wart, pretty sure MLE’s review and if not that then the Schiit product page says it *needs* a wall wart suggesting usbx-only from source device would be insufficient. Are you saying that a PS, Xbox, laptop or whatever could power it with just a second USB cable?
