  Try both with the LC in balanced out mode. My preference was only based on SE output so maybe that's why I preferred the HE400S.

 
 

  I don't have the 650's but have have heard them and I prefer the 400S . I am making balanced cables for them to see if there is a advantaged there but everything sounds better with the LC.

 
 
 
If you guys prefer the 400s, honestly you don't need to have the Liquid Carbon to get the best from that headphone. Nor do you need a balanced cable. 400s is amazingly efficient and will be driven well even from a smart phone or ipod.

Per the conversation on possible burn-in difference - here's an idea if any of you would like to try it:
 
When you first receive your LC amp, connect one of the headphone outputs to an audio-to-digital-converter (like a pro-quality recorder with with a line-in) to record a song or two, then after 100-150 hours of burn in, 'rinse & repeat', ensuring it's volume-matched with the first time. Next play the recording back on your computer or other, to compare any differences between pre/post burn-in, and optionally inspect the waveform visually.

So your saying a iPod or smart phone sounds better than the LC? For the HE-400S? Sorry I get it know. If you prefer the He-400S over the HD-650 then you should just listen to them on a iPhone or iPad as they are just too inferior for anything better.

Thanks I'll consider them if I can find a good deal on them.  I really like my HE-500's with the Carbon, more than my Alpha Dogs, but I don't like how heavy they are for long listening sessions.  
I'm also considering the Nighthawks, and am wondering if anyone has heard them with the Carbon?

Don't consider the Nighthawk, please. You'll thank me later

Nah there will be some benefits for the 400S. Not as big as with more inefficient headphones but it will sound better than from an iphone

The Shipper (Manufacturer) hasn't sent them to the carrier yet. So probably contact Cavalli Audio's Logistics (The guy that emailed you the address and contact confirmation).

[vince741]

Same situation from me.
I don't mind waiting for the amp but I'm a bit pissed to have payed so much for express shipping for nothing.

i feel you man, the fact that fedex had the package for a week doing nothing is ultra annoying, i mean its Fedex Express,
 
and the real bothersome question is "When???" will it start moving........ 
 
i really hope Fedex don't lose or damage my stuff
