Thanks aimlink, those are very interesting insights. A lot of food for thought. I'm gonna go back to the store tomorrow and have a long listen to the 650's, d5000's and k702's. Though I'll probably end up liking them all for the individual merits you pointed out I have a feeling I'll be gravitating more toward the 650's.
There have been some ibasso recommendations in this thread and I initially dismissed them. However I just decided to check out the DAC section of the shop's website and was very pleasantly surprised to find a range of ibasso products! Including the D1, D2, MadT4 and D10. So how well would the D10's suit 650's? And would the D10's DAC sound better than an iPod's line out or an Auzentech Forte? Since I'll be using my headphones at home out of a computer I'll be using a sound card and the D10's DAC might be wasted. I'm assuming there would be better amps than the D10 at the same price.
*edit* Nvm, I don't think I'll be getting a portable.
