I dunno, I did exactly the opposite. Had the AD700s, got the HD600s and never looked back. I mean sure they do definitely sound a whole lot better with an amp/dac, but even without I thought they had unanimously better detail than the AD700s and considerably more bass extension.

Compared head to head, I actually prefer the ATH AD700 to an unamped HD580. HD580s need a lot of voltage to knock off the sennheiser veil and to give their bass a balanced sound. Unamped the HD580s are almost completely lower midrange. |
