works fine on my B&W CM9's . My pro 900's on loan or I'd test those too. But for the most part I doubt they'd have trouble with this track.

From what I've read the JH13's sound great even out of an ibasso D10. You definitely have learned that with revealing headphones, the sound is only as good as the source. And in reality, you'd never pay 1300+ bucks for something that isn't that analytic. Hopefully you can get a dac/amp combo...

Does anyone have any experience with these? I'm considering a pair of RX8's over some B&W 600 series.

A custom LOD would be great. I know the Archos' can get those media docks with multiple outputs. For a while there I was considering the one with the optical out so I could feed my D10 while I still had it. I wondering if Archos would ever consider making a dock with a separate class D amp...

Agreed, buying used for you is the best solution.

I've heard HD650's unamped and they sounded "ok". I've also heard 595's unamped and sonically I can't recall that large of a difference between them unamped. Both were fairly neutral. Amped mind you, the 650's do really start to show their muscle. I think if the price isn't an issue, get the...

hi infinitesymphony, I see you only have the DACmagic by Cambridge Audio, but the 740C and 840C also have a DAC along with their CD playing capabilities.

Haha, no I didn't know there was new firmware again. It felt like yesterday that 1.3.0.7 came out. By the change log it doesn't look like much as changed, but I can update on this later.
