New member testing the ULDE with HD800S

Thank you. I am glad to help any forum members (in the UK) try HFC gear. It's Graham, John, Leon, and their helpers that make this possible. Happy listening.

Thanks for your review and the very good photos.

Hi and thanks all for the nice welcome!

I have to say since I initially posted the ULDE has very much grown on me. I can only describe the sound as big, detailed and immersive. The sound seems to have opened up even more with the unit being constantly connected to power.

There hasn't been a single recording that I would say sounded poorly with the combination of ULDE and HD800S.

The sound is very transparent, open and clear across the whole spectrum without ever being fatiguing.

I have enjoyed classical music and the excellent imaging of instruments just as much as Pop, Rock, Folk or Jazz music.

The bass goes deep and has real punch to it. As I mentioned initially the highs are a little more laid back compared to my previous gear but it really makes the listening experience more enjoyable for longer sessions.

I have discovered new details in my favourite recordings whilst at the same time enjoying the musicality and not getting into an overcritical mode.

I love the fact that the ULDE has such a small footprint and I would not want to miss it going forward - in fact I now have one on order!

The ULDE has been just what I was looking for and I think it is a great value proposition.

Best wishes
Frank
