THread change! I have a strict budget of 1000 dollars to buy the absolute, set for a log time combo of a amp/dac and a headphone. I listen to all genres but a little less of classical and more of alternative. The headphones could be open or closed(leaning towards open)

This is a review of a pair of free IEM's I recieved from DUNU as part of a give away contest they recently held here on Head-fi. When I recieved my package the first thing I notices was...

Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...

Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

I know you mentioned that auditioning is difficult, but considering the recent change to the tune
of $1000 ~ is there anyway you can jump on a train or bus and just get to an audio store anywhere?
I picked up my new Rega DAC today and it took 5 hours there and back to get it. I had no problem
with it, you don't chance it with a $900AUD DAC and you should rely on your own ears than persisting
with a continual gamble of 1,001 different opinions on here.
You're talking big money. I would exhaust all avenues of testing at least *any of those headphones*
