Edit: I haven't been on head-fi all day and wasn't aware I was reposting. Again, sorry. It appears that the first bits of information have begun to materialize, but the new product is not what I was hoping for. I hope this is not the only new product launched at CES as it would mean a...

Hello everyone, I'm pretty new as a poster in these forums and I thought this might make for an interesting thread. Recently I let a friend of mine borrow my HD555's. When she gave them back to me I was expecting a comment on their sound quality, instead she kept raving on about how good the...
