I recently purchased CD3000s from another Headfier, they've been recabled with Black Dragon wire, balanced to a 4-pin XLR, and they're in fantastic shape.
I'm using them as follows:
FLAC ---> Little Dot DAC_1 (balanced out) --->Little Dot MK VII ---> CD3000
The comments below are relative to the above setup and would vary with other equipment. I haven't bothered to listen to them single-ended yet with any of my other equipment.
I'm sensitive to bright headphones and I was worried that they would be too bright based on what I've read, however, although the treble is emphasized I don't find them harsh at all (as long as it's a decent recording). The treble is smooth and well extended with tons of detail.
The bass is amazing! Fast with SLAM and extends deep & low! The best I've heard to date!
These headphones really excel at sound stage as well, it's wide & deep!
