Under $200

Definitely possible. Balanced/flat, with a little (I mean little) emphasis on mid/high bass (bass instrument tone, not just low end feel like I hear so often on cheaper headsets) as said before.
Listening mostly to rock and progressive metal/rock,solo albums, etc. Not huge into ultra fast/heavy music. If I was I would have gotten m50s or similar..
Soundstage is definitely a plus. I like to hear every instrument separately. Makes for learning songs easier. The last thing I want is low end/sub bass taking over, or general muddiness.
The Vali looks to be really sweet, expecially for the price. However, the 6.5 output impedance of the Vali worries me a bit. The 598`s are on the lower impedance end of the spectrum. I looked quickly here on here and reddit/google (take with a grain of salt), and found some not recommending it because 50ohm output of the 598`s; hiss is possible due to the higher noise floor.
If there isn't, this setup looks very tempting...
With a 15% restocking fee :/
Return Policy
Unlike our other amps, Vali is so affordable we can’t offer the same 15-day, 5% satisfaction guarantee. But if you don’t like your Vali, you can still send it back for a refund, minus 15% restocking fee, within 15 days of receiving your amp.
edit-Been reading around 30 pages on the vali forum so far...lol.
^fail.

I just got the HD598, I had the Schiit Modi already not sure if the HD598 works well with Modi & Vali combo or Modi & Little Dot 1+ or Modi with something else. Any suggestion is appreciate.
Since HD598 are very sensitive headphones, a powerful amp with a fixed gain is not a good idea.
Magni 2 should work, same for O2.
