Thanks a bunch for everyone's input - very helpful. I am torn because the S7 is such a value but Purrin's comments about the open sound and greater resolution of the BA still makes this a tough choice for me. Let me consider everyone's comments and get come back to this great thread with some...

Purrin,   I am looking to spend $4,000 on a high-end headphone amp. Already have HD800's and Ayre DAC (with balanced output option).   I am sold on Eddie Current but need your advice. Awhile back, you mentioned the Super 7 as getting awfully close to the BA in sound quality but your...
