I'm going crazy! Can't decide (X2? HE400s? K702? HD650? Any other?)
I'd agree with monsterzero that you don't need a soundstage for the metal. You do need it for classical music. HD650 are said to have small soundstage. Planars have low distortion, are fast, accurate and revealing - youd be able to hear slightest details in the classical recording, plus...- U6astik

Advice on buying a first DAC/Amp combo in 40 - 600 price range (discussion)
I agree that Schiit produces rather nice devices, but yes, I'm not too paranoid about the support. I hope I won't have any problems with the device I buy (sounds too optimistic, yes). But I am taken aback by the degree of Schiit-o-philia on headfi - seems like people are not able to...- U6astik

Any recommendations of headphones within this criteria would be much appreciated!
The bad thing about the K7XX is that you cannot try it before buying. Plus shipping and VAT expenses. Try ATH-MSR7 or HD600/650. There are plenty of HiFi shops around UK - those two popular headphones won't be too hard to find.- U6astik

Sennheiser HD 650 + iFi iCan Amp + Macbook Pro = buzz/static noise?
Hello and welcome to the society! :) I'm probably not the best person to talk to regarding this problem, as I don't have any experience with either HD650, or iFi iCAN, but: Do you get the noise when driving HD650 directly from the Mac (without iCAN)? Are your monitors driven by the same...- U6astik

Advice on buying a first DAC/Amp combo in 40 - 600 price range (discussion)
In case Asgard 2 and Modi 2 get such favourable reviews I personally see no point in purchasing Jotunheim, the only advantage of it being balanced. If Asgard and Modi are as neutral as Jotunheim I will go for Modi+Magni or Bifrost+Asgard in case I go for Schiit combo. UPD: Although...- U6astik

franzdom, do you think it's worth paying more, much more, to get the Jotunheim instead of, say, Asgard 2?- U6astik
