Look into the Doge 6210. It has an output transformer so it has worked with all headphones that has been thrown to it so far. Plus it sounds wonderful.
In my opinion, you have a fabulous start to a very good system. In no certain order:
- Keep your CD player.
- Buy the HD 600 grills from Sennheiser.
- Upgrade your Sennheiser HD 580 stock cable. My favorite is the Equinox.
- Buy a headphone tube amplifier with good power supply.
- Upgrade power cords on CD player, and amplifier.
I know that all of this cannot be done at once with your budget, but doing a little bit at a time is usually easier on the wallet, and you will appreciate it when you are done.
doesnt this happen to everything?
you go listen to music mainly, after a month or two, you get bored
you go watch tv and movies, after a while, you get bored
you watch ****, play games, go out dating
do it too much, and you might find yourself wanting to do "icky" stuff
like working/studying hard
cleaning your room, going to church
Maybe use the money for a moving truck... Go to a noisy neighborhood and get a house. Next to the interstate and railroad tracks. The noise will drive you back to the head-fi setup you have!!!
Or do like me- get a new girlfriend you don't wanna listen to! Just apply headphones!!!
Personally, I think losing interest in your audio gear should be the ultimate goal because in the end, it should be about the music.
I remember when I was a teenager and discovering great bands and listening on a cheap plastic boom box. It was an exciting time! I was never distracted by gear awareness.
I have known of guys who bought a nice audio rig 20 years ago and never had an interest in upgrading. Instead, they focused on their music collection. I feel that in many ways, that can be a better way to achieve bliss and ultimately music happiness.
