So after reading this thread I decided to pick one up from Amazon. I figured the refined sound signature would be better to my ears than the X00's sound. I'll find out in a few weeks once it all gets to where I live. Either way, I think it will be a significant upgrade from my current HD6XX...

I'm very interested, but I have no idea if my current sources can power this properly. I'm coming from an HD598, and I have:   HTC 10 Fiio E11   Can either of these drive the HD6xx properly?

  That's fine with me - with my current workstation setup running a 5.1 setup is difficult, so I was going to downgrade to a 2.0 or 2.1 setup in any case.   Thanks for the links to the HiVi and Edifier links - they all look to be a bit easier to handle than my original idea.

I currently use a Logitech 5.1 speaker system for my PC. While it's served me well for many years, I'm thinking of an upgrade - but I'm not quite sure how to go about it.   I was considering a pair of the Pioneer SP-BS22-LR speakers, but I am not sure of the best way to connect those to my PC...

I have an aging iPod classic (circa 2007) which I'm considering replacing as it's been less than reliable. (Bad battery life, flaky 30-pin connector, etcetera.) I've decided on a Fiio, but I don't know which Fiio is the best and most cost-effective for me. I'd like your recommendations on which...
