Senn Hd600 what amp do you use?
I've recently upgraded to a QES Labs HPBA-2 LE. I mainly use it with my HD 800 S, which to me it's a perfect match. With the HD 600 I get a very focused and detailed representation of the source, flat and balanced.- 3nity

Headphones + Amp for studio\mix reference use - advice needed.
Late to the party, however I must agree with you: the HD800, imho, are the ones that translate well in critical mixing/mastering sessions. IME they are perfectly driven for this task by the QES Labs HPBA-2 balanced amp. This combo is hyper analytical, retains the last bit of micro detail...- 3nity

REVIEW : HPBA-2 By QES-LABS
Quote: Yes, the DT-880 matches fine with it's very regular phase response, as can be seen here. The HPBA-2 is absolutely ruler-flat in frequency and phase resp. They also produce balanced amps for low-ohm cans, maybe worth inquiring.- 3nity

Balanced gear w/ unbalanced headphones: does it make sense? (indecision)
I noticed you are from Europe. If you plan to go full balanced, consider the opportunity of a balanced 600-ohm Beyer DT-880, and the HPBA-2 fully balanced driver from QES Labs in Italy. It's an astounding matched pair.- 3nity
