At 10:30 timestamp on Crinacle's video about the 8xx titled "goodn't," he expressely stated that the build, resolution, and imaging were essentially the same but were hindered by the tuning changes. He later stated that eqing the headphone gains his approval for a minimum recommendation. Since he didn't perform all these different tests or mods, he was not sure how it would affect the headphone. He only compared stock performance. And also, he stated that 8xx had A+ technicalities in his written review, but because of D- tuning it gained a C average ranking score. So I don't think I was misleading anyone with my statements.
