Best sounding headphones you have owned?

@yyzsantabarbara Yes, I do have the Star 8 cable.  I bought it from Danny when it first came out and I agree that it adds some needed bass and warmth while still maintaining all the detail.  I have a Bricasti M1SE DAC/network streamer and love the SR-1b with it.

I was thinking that the Bricasti would be good with the SR1a. In fact, Danny is going to test out the lower cost Bricasti out. I am going to stick with the DAC3B into the VM-1a. It is actually my worst 2-channel DAC but my fav on the VM-1a.

Focal Utopia 2020

- a "Utopian" sound signature. Stll highly accurate, but almost never harsh-sounding. Excellent imaging, layering, detail, and presentation overall. Also non-fatiguing so you can listen for hours.Can help with figuring out problem areas on any track with ease, since it is kinder to the ears than more accurate headphones.

RAAL SR1A with Boulder 866 Siltech speaker cables to impedance matching box all fed by Rockna Wavedream NET with ssd sounds absolutely superb especially with REL Carbon Special!  Could not ask for more.

Grado GS3000x. I spend much more time listening to speakers so I didn't want to invest much more. Still, by far the best I've heard and I can't imagine wanting more.

I was able to compare to Audeze LCD-5 in my home and much preferred the Grado phones. I had some non-audiophile friends visiting from out of town at the time and they also preferred the Grado.
