Yes, you did, it was me that posted a mini review.
I've been listening to headphones for 30 years, so I'm quite convinced that the D7100 sounded better than the D600, but as I wrote in my review, the difference in sound is not worth the price difference.
Interesting, next question would be if one was to mod the D600's would one be able to bring out the extra sound making them sound the same or better than the D7100's?
I'm jumping in on the D600, all this discussion has me curious to hear how they do sound It will be fun to compare them to my other Denon's, and if they are a dud I can resell easy enough or send it back for a refund.

I'm getting these as a potential headphone for work. When I want to hear bass, I put on my LCD's. Otherwise, my favorite headphones tend to be my T1's and Senn. 800's.
The D600's may be perfect for my workplace. Looking forward to them.
I haven't heard the D600 -- but the D7100 is exactly the opposite of what you describe here. The bass is overbearing, the mids are very muddy and veiled, and the treble seemed a bit rolled off. It honestly sounds like it strives to be sold at the Apple Store.

I haven't heard the D7100, so I can't say, but they supposedly have a similar signature to the D600. To me, it sounds like you are describing the D400, not the D7100. Is the one you are listening to all black with light up rotating blue dials? If so, it is the D400 which is terrible. If not, I suppose we just hear differently.
No, but I hope they are not tuned as poorly as the D400. If you are looking for a solid basshead IEM, have you tried the B&W C5? I listen daily while exercising and really enjoy their overall sound and deep bass.
Perhaps it was a pre-production model. I'm open to that. Although, what's the chances that Denon takes a differently-tuned pre-production model, puts it in normal packaging, and ships it to the owner of the biggest headphone forum in the world just weeks before it's official release? I'd file this under possible, but not very likely.
And who knows how long it was burned in. I haven't ever experienced burn-in to have such dramatic effects in headphones -- and I've owned several headphones that are notorious for "needing burn-in" (three Ultrasones, K701...). And what I heard wasn't a slightly unrefined headphone needing a tad bit of settling. Nope, this was huge doses of suckage.
Assuming Craigster75 is correct in that the $400 D600 sounds very similar to the $1200 D7100, that would actually make the D600 a much more reasonable proposition/value -- considering that good, closed, portable headphones are so few and far between. Being just $250 overpriced is much better than $1050 overpriced.
