Is this good for HD800s? Thinking of get a tube amp since recommended by many, also the port looks like TRS to me, which is not 4pin XLR shipped with HD800s. any recommended on the cable/convertor? Thanks,

soooTrue, this amp has a 6.5mm (1/4”) headphone jack instead of anything balanced, but your HD 800S included a 6.5mm cable as stock… maybe double check the box? Balanced can help prevent crosstalk and some noise, but more tubes and cost would be required for a balanced tube amp, and a well designed single-ended amp will not have high levels of those issues anyway. As a hybrid amplifier (of tube and solid state components), I believe this will support the sub bass in your HD 800S better than an OTL tube amp, though either OTL or hybrid should work well with higher impedance headphones such as the 300 Ω HD 800S.
