http://www.yamaha.co.jp/english/prod...cdrhd1500.html Some comment said it's a wonderful digital source especially play from harddisk, blow cyrus cx7 out of water! Even conclude HD1500+BENCHMARK DAC1 is the best source over the world! Anybody give some feedback?

Definately in difference class. 010 is simply the best can ever made IMHO, whlile I will judge SA5K is inferior to MPRO consider balance or over all performance. SA lose the most important authority. SA5K isnt refined or well balanced which HI-END phones must be, otherwise technically 010 have...

own both, have to say they are really different level, 325Is only have synegy with male voice, every other songs, no contest. the biggest question about 325I is there is no bass or soundstage compare to sa5k, sa5k also has more balance, refined sound, the sound is natual if pair with right equiment.

sorry for post twice

I got my SA5K for about a week, really happy with it, I've tried several amp includ HR2, ha2002, it shows unbelievable thickness when connect to HA2002, even RS-1 cannot compare, I really prefer SA5K to RS-1 which in the same price range. the soundstage simply widen and the sound is more...
