Wow that's ideal you've had the same headphones as me. May i ask what cans got you into this journey and how did you get to the a900x and then the he500? Also what were your first impressions of the 500 coming from the AT's?
I will say that i listened to them for about 7 hours straight as soon as i hooked everything up. Every time i put them on its for at least 2-3 hours. Must mean something eh haha.
I had a bit of a different experience than you. I started up headphones when really the "top of the line" were the K701 and HD650. My first serious purchase was the DT770. I slowly worked my way up the chain, and was one of the first people with a pair of Audeze LCD-2.
Since I had a really high end rig at the time of the LCD-2 and had been listening to the K702 for such a long time I immediately picked up on the really fine details and speed of the LCD-2. In comparison they sounded "dark" but since I had "worked my way up" I picked up on the nuances.
You have a great DAC/Amp unit. Kingwa's gear is always first rate and I love his stuff. Let those HE500 melt in, and honestly you should try to venture to some new genres and see how they do. I never really liked jazz until I had the K702. I didn't care for electronic until I had a pair of Stax headphones.

Maybe other people can chime in with some links to songs that make their HE500's sing. Maybe something with some bass
