I currently listen to a pair of MD5000's and there's a certain..Crispyness in certain tracks (vocal wise) i just love it, and i want more of it! what headphones would satisfy my Crisp addiction!
 
If the term Crispy is off, (and im sure it is) then i could probably refer to it as some sort of bite, or impact type feeling upon hearing most male vocals (crossfade/Thousand foot krutch/Blue october).

Budget?
 
HE-6 will meet your needs

Beyer T1's do that the best for me.

K701 is so crispy like biscuits!

HiFiMAN HE-500 - crackle-free crispiness in abundance.

Biscuits are not supposed to be crispy.  They're supposed to be warm, a little dry on the edges and top - and, buttery.  Yet, when you split them open they are soft and tasty.

My budget is about $1000, id like to shove either an amp or dac alongside the headphone, is my Audio gd C-2C still the champ it was before?
 
i have to say the Hi-Fiman 500 looks like a good buy, ive seen hundred's of reviews about the K701 since i joined head-fi, never did i see them refered to as crispy D:!

I think its a cultural thing....in some countries naming conventions are slightly different.
 
Crackers can be called Biscuits.

Umm...that's not biscuits, that's cookies you're describing. And regarding the K701, its sound is crystal clear, is that the same as crisp? I don't know hrmm

Hmm, just saw this http://www.headphone.com/headphones/akg-k701-balanced-fat-pipe-upgrade.php
 
Since my Audio GD C-2C has XLR inputs in the back, should i go for that? is the fat pipe a good choice?
 
if i go for the K701 with the fat pipe, id be able to buy a dac as well.

I think your version of sound signature is spot on for what you're asking for.  You want to clearly hear cymbals.  You want to clearly hear instrument plucking - in great detail.  You don't want those sounds to be faint, but more pronounced.  Right?

Actually, just Virginia - a bit below the Mason-Dixon line.  Not quite as "south" as the south one could get by say going to Savannah, Georgia and having some of Paula Dean's cooking.
