Being a year late, mind me asking what is the DT990 like with leather pads instead of the velour.

No doubt...that's a great shot of the Meier gear!

Alright, I have to post my work setup now. Has a Meier in it, of course
 
At home I have a better set of headphones and a better amp; same DAC though.
 
Note how I color-coordinate foobar to the Meier LED

 
I also stopped using the iMod as I have the DACport LX, and instead use a 1TB USB3.0 Seagate drive to hold my music

I wish I liked the sound of AKG phones as much as I liked how amazing they look in photos!

Same here. The K550 is one sexy headphone, but has been too controversial for me to buy a pair for myself just yet, especially based on my mixed experiences with their previous offerings.

Yeah I've read that they are pretty hit and miss for people, also considering their size. I had a hard time with pulling the trigger, but I am very happy with them which has the unfortunate side effect that my Hd598 don't get much use anymore

Where did you buy that headphone stand at?

man, honestly once you hit that level. LCD2, HE-500, HD-800, HE-6 it's THE endgame other than stax; all of them have such similar levels of detail and presentation it really turns into a preference game rather than an objectively superior game.

yes I did calculate the sum of everything on the desk, in Australian prices

Might as well put the rent or mortgage into the calculation then.

I agree, the K550s are beautiful looking in pics...same with the 701/702 and most of the other AKG pics I've seen...I really wanted to like them dammit! lol

The fact that your username has told me that I'm not the only lover of GYBE on Head-Fi has made my day.

Know the feeling. I would love a set but the mids, especially vocals can sound a bit metallic. They've gone down from £250 to £150 now though, incredible price, even if I just use them for techno music.
