Topping L70 & RME ADI-2 DAC FS, a great combo that can drive most headphones very well and very flexible.
nice one!

everything is a bargain when compared with the $150k wadax dac. The question is pointless IMO

I feel like most/all of the headphones I own were bargains in one sense or another, but especially:

- K702 for gargantuan soundstage and to my ears incredibly natural timbre for around 150 ish euros is a steal - though arguably the K612 might be an even better deal if you can put up with the non-detachable cable.
- CAL! for a mini Fostex experience for like 70 euros if you can still buy one anywhere.

Focal Radiance @ AUD 699 (US$440)
Like where? This has to be for one pair and not of a larger clearance sale. I fought to get a pair of display model Celestes for that price.

Also got the Radiance at $699AUD, hard to beat that.

Though they're still expensive, the RAAL-requisite CA-1a and SR-1b are absolute bargains from a SQ per $ perspective.

I'll say buying the HD800 for $1300aud in 2013 is up there too. 10 years late and it still works perfectly outside of a few pad changes and still regarded as well as it was back then. I've bought and sold quite a few other headphones but that has stayed.
