Anyone? I'm starting to wonder if I should look for something else because people are recommending fairly expensive tube amps for the dt880.. I could build a bottlehead crack but I would still have to get a DAC..

Hi
I'm looking for some headphones around $300. They are strictly for home use, and sound leakage is not a problem.
I will be buying a $200-300 DAC/amp to power them.
I listen to a lot of different stuff, but mainly "indie" folk/pop/rock and some electronica (ambient/glitch). So no jazz, classical or metal (or any kind of rock thats heavy on distorted guitars).
Some examples:

I would also like them to do fairly well with movies, but that would probably only be what I use them for 10% of the time.
The Beyerdynamics dt880 (600 ohm) seem to fit the bill quite well, but are there others that would be better suited for my needs?
