The W1000x has a big mid-bass hump but then there is a large roll-off, so there isn't much presence in the very lowest regions.
The LCD-2 has plenty of bass. While I like this headphone, it feels that something is missing compared to my D7000.
It's also bad for television shows/movies. It's great for music - songs sound much more interesting - however, it makes me think that every recording was done in a Japanese studio.
Anybody here have the ODAC/O2? Just wondering how it sounds paired with the W1000X. I have mine currently with a Audinst HUD-MX1 at the moment but it sounds a bit harsh and fatiguing at times. (I get the impression that the ODAC will sound cold, but not sure about the O2)
Or otherwise, I'd love suggestions for a USB DAC/AMP combo <$500.
Where can I wind a pair of these headphones *cheap* so I can join the club?

The M-Stage has been reported as having excellent synergy with the HD800. I'm not sure if you've read the M-Stage review (there's a major one floating around somewhere) but rumor has it during HD800 development the BCL was used as the companion amp in the process, hence the clones perform excellently thanks to that factor.
I've decided the best scenario that depicts the experience I am desiring is of that demonstrated by sitting in a bar in Fallout 3 (Moriarty's Saloon if you know it) and being able to hear the radio with its old time tunes and static interference (ever so often smacked by Gob when experience more than normal static) with customers and workers alike walking around and participating in drab conversation. I desire to know the location of the radio and people within the room and to hear it as though I were there in those dark times and not as though I am experiencing this situation through a pair of headphones. I emphasize positional queues in this description, but I must state that clarity, involvement, and natural audio are just as important. The game has a great score with huge brass sections and big drums. I want to feel that. This may sound like an obvious desire, but it excites me to paint this picture. I want to hear the depth of the Sheriffs voice and feel the impact of grenades and mini-nukes in VATS as raider and mutants scream for their lives in slow motion. I want to roam the wastleland with the Pip Boy's radio dialed into GNR and Three Dog's crazy support to "fighting the good fight". I play other games, but if a headphone fits this bill, it will serve just fine in all likely scenarios I am to experience.
