Same exact system here, with the HA-1 driven by a MacBook Air via USB.
Yes, I can tell the difference between Spotify and TIDAL, and the difference is much larger on the 'Main System' using a SONOS connect into a Marantz NA-7004 which perhaps is not as good of a DAC as the HA-1.
Maybe.
Can't tell the difference between TIDAL, QOBUZ and DEEZER Elite on either system.
Certainly the HA-1 deserves a better set of cans than my HD-600's but that will have to wait.
Follow Ups:
Don't be so hard on the HD-600s. For what it's worth they are still Class A at Stereophile. I've had mine for years and they still sound great. My Oppo HA-2 can even drive them well.
I've had them longer than I can even remember.
HD-800 with balanced cable sounds about the right match for the HA-1.
Hmmm. If you like HD600s on classical music you may well not like HD 800s. I have always found the rather excessivley light or wispy mid/treble sound of the 800s unnatural and am not surprised that there is a such great activity in selling aftermarket cables to try to ameliorate this.
So the HD600's remain top dog for me for the time being. Still, if you do get the 800s plaese remember to post your opinion as I would be very interested if your view differs.
Pete.
