Is there one coming up soon? Haven't been to one yet, would love to see what other's are rocking.

Hey all, I just stepped up from a K240 MKII to an HD650. It's a pretty awesome. So awesome that I'm starting to hear little blemishes or colorations in the music that I hadn't heard before. Do you guys have any suggestions of any albums/artists that happen to be particularly well mastered and...

The HD650 just came in. Thanks all for the suggestions, quite a great step up from the K240 MKII's. Bigger soundstage, lush sound. Only bad thing about it is that my wife can't hear the difference between her $20 sony wrap arounds and these amazing things. 

Quote:   I'm located in Chicago. I suppose I could run by the Guitar Center here to see if they have the HD650 and the 940. I listen to primarily electronic music, lots of indie rock, and every once in a while classical (Rachmaninoff, Chopin)

Quote: I don't need it to be portable. The problem with trying other sound signatures is that I don't know where to go hear these cans in person. That seems more ideal than buying and then shipping back and forth..

Quote: Ideally under $350. Quote: Gotcha - I guess I'm just going for a "better" K240 MKII. I think I'm fairly happy with the amount of bass on it. I've found it usually comes down to the mastering on the particular album and the level at which I'm listening. Turned up...

So the K701 is not the natural step-up from the K240 MKII?

Say I've got an AKG K240 MKII, and I enjoy it quite a bit. Say I'm currently running a Fiio e10 as my DAC/Amp. Say I am looking for something similar that's a step up from it.    I primarily listen to electronic music. I also regularly play indie-ish rock (Mute Math, Radiohead, etc). I will...

I own neither an amp or dac yet, was hoping to go with the fiio e10 once it comes out..

Quote: So where do we order from?

Gotcha, okay. I'll probably grab the K271 then. Is there a specific DAC that pairs well with it?

Quote: E10 will be still good entry point if I don't own a DAC at all yet, right? Patiently waiting on an order link!

My wife just got one of these for me: http://www.onabags.com/store/messengers-and-backpacks/the-union-street.html?color=black#black   Not tons of room but definitely very happy with it as a work bag...

Looking to get another pair of headphones and saw the lifehacker article with you guys generally suggesting the M50. I was previously looking at the K-271 MK II, and was wondering if you guys suggested the M50 over the K-271 MK II... why? :)

Quote: So should I stick with my AKG K240 MKII's then? seems like they're probably a bit more versatile.  

Thoughts on the AIAIAI TMA-1? I've heard great things, but is there anything else I should be looking at in that range? If I do go with those headphones should I get the udac2 as well? I've currently got an AKG K240 MKII that runs straight to my macbook..

I've got a 27" Apple display, pre-thunderbolt. I'm a fan.

I'm thinking my next messenger bag buy will be the chrome buran...

Not to resurrect an old thread, but I'm curious about this since a bunch of friends are suggesting I get the udac2, What were you trying to drive with it?
