Why recommend a portable amp with such a power hungry phone like the 650's?

LOL .... Welcome to Head-Fi

Seriously though, do your research, I can only offer one opinion out of thousands.

Read up on the RS-1 and RS-2( use the search ) , the 650 and all others you may be considering. This will give you some idea on what to expect.

Thanks man. I really appreciate your help, all of you guys. I think maybe I'll save for another week so I can go ahead and do the RS-1 route.

Just curious though, how much more expensive can headphones get?

you don't want to know

let's just say there are cables that can easily buy you a car

for now, have a look at Stax electrostatic products

600 should buy you plenty of listening pleasure! The D1 and 650s sounds like an excellent combination. Make sure to let us know how your new rig sounds.

I don't see how you meen $600 isn't even breaking the surface

. Most people don't spend more than $600 on one pair of nice headphones, atleast people with normal incomes. I would think for any normal person that could get quite a nice setup. But maybe I'm wrong...

we're not normal around here you see...

it was more in response to the OP initially believing he had a huge budget, when in the grand scheme of things was not very big at all...
