get the Sr80i's it's like your listening to "Sibilance, The Headphone"

From looking at the DAC it seems that it would need USB power right? And the only inputs from an Ipod would have to be transfered to RCA cabling. How's your take on the Fiio E7? or E5 for that matter. I can channel stereo plugs to RCA for home-purposes but plug to RCA on the go would be moderately bulky, wouldnt it?
I think the main matter about hardware would be for me is that how does the DAC really help out the sound? Wouldn't a higher-end audio card sound better than onboard Realtek HD even with a DAC? Because it's only modifying what's coming out. I would rather have better audio output on my computers side than taking it mobile, since it's open style headphones and are a 200$ investment I wouldn't be able to take it to many places such as school.
Yeah I wish I could get more people how had listened to my Genre and have had experience with the 598 and the SR225I. Would make decisions easier .
Cord is fixable, all I care about is the sound quality. Looks and things I can comprimise. If I get a Grado I'm probably going to modify it anyways (I'm experieced with modifying electronics)
I have a G930 Logitech Gaming headset which has a nice button that can change from 7.1 surround to direct stereo. I would have to say that closer-up stereo would be my thing for upfront music like metal and rock which from reviews fall's into the the Grado's capabilities. Only thing is that the 598 has a much higher frequency response.
That makes decisions MUCH easier then . Either way I go I'm going to be blown away by quality but I'l get a pair of 225's. My parents are going to hate me for modifying them, but I make some interesting modifications. I'l be sure to post a review unless I suddenly change my mind in the next 6 hours.
I'm not trying to dissuade you, but I've owned sr60is, sr80is, and sr225is, and they all sound almost exactly the same once you put them in wooden shells (if you're planning on doing that of course).
