Question 1

If I pair these with a 19.95 Sony Walkman tape player from ebay will that be ironic enough to get me in with the hipsters?

Accepted Answer

Possibly, but a pair of Square-shaped glasses and a cup of overpriced, burnt coffee would certainly help. Also, you'll need to change your catchphrase to "Bazinga".

Question 2

Can iphone 6 plus be able to power this headphones without a problem? Without needing of an Amplifier, I would like it to use in spotify?

Accepted Answer

Actually, you gentlemen who think that the SQ of the iPhone 6/6+ is sub-par or ''stinks'' might want to take a look at the measurements and tests done by Ken Rockwell where it comes extremely close to the performance of the Benchmark DAC1-HDR.  And I can confirm via my own Blind A/B/X listening tests using Neumann KH 120A Studio Monitors, Beyerdynamic T1 headphones, and Noble Audio Kaiser K10 CIEMs that the SQ of the iPhone 6/6+ is on par or better than several so-called "high-end" DAPs. I do agree that you will want an outboard Headphone Amplifier to eek the best performance from the HD800S/to power them appropriately, but the SQ from the iPhone 6/6+ itself is stellar, especially considering it is not designed as a stand-alone /dedicated DAP.

Question 4

Best affordable dac&amp combo or seperate (under $600)?

Accepted Answer

For anyone else looking at these  heres a combo you wont regret
Schitt stack - modi 3+,  Loki mini +,  + Vali 2
The reason for the loki is that these headphones present the higher freq more than the bassier notes you can use the Loki to adjust the lower hertz to fillin the gap.

This is coming from an old timer who used to install competition stereos Equalizers are a must in any serious audio setup to correct the changes in the signal by the equipment its passing through.

Also dont spend $$$ on crazy headphone wires unless your going for true dual 3 pin xlr balanced not worth the extra money for the 4 pin single xlr stuff.
If you do ...dont spend more than 4 8-10  dollars a foot more than that and your getting robbed
electrons dont care weather its copper or silver as long as its high purity and the sodlering is good on connectors. 
The OEM wire should be enough just give it care dont bend pinch it ect.
