Oh sorry, I meant LOW shelf for all frequencies lower than 120 Hz, not higher.
 
In foobar2k, I have VST 2.4 adapter and use EasyQ parametric EQ. Here are my EQ point:
Low Shelf: 89.184 Hz, +4.12 dB, Bandwidth = 1.94 octaves.

 
I figured it out and it works fantastic, Thank you! On to continued testing/listening.

Thanks! Currently enjoying them very much. Loving the sound stage. I'm very happy with my headphone roster right now.

New box (have the older model), nice looking!

Looks nice indeed. I think it's now the same one they use on the HE400i.

I actually love them with Hip-Hop more then just about anything.  Keep in mind I've listened to like 30 minutes total.  But yeah.  I'm happy.
 
Wet Dreamz is on right now and it sounds great.

Glad you're enjoying them!

Yeah, I was surprised it was not the wooden box, but this leather one is nice. Very premium look. I was also surprised the connection at the headphones were not the SMC connectors but standard 2.5mm inputs. Do others have that, too?

The new version with that new box gets the 2.5mm connectors. Everyone, especially those who like to try different cables for different results, agrees that the old coax connectors are annoying. Which they are, I have the coax set. Luckily, I only needed to change my cable once so it's relatively okay in my case.

Just to say, im listening to Andrew Birds Break it Yourself on the 560s using my laptop as a source and my Fiio X3 original as a source and its so beautiful im getting a pain in my heart (hopefully its just the beauty of the music and not the amount of food and drink ive had over the week).
 
The clarity, soundstage and detail are one thing, but overall the effect is one of beauty. I love my 560s!

Bird is pretty cool stuff, it could be the tunes. I liked the bowl of fire. Gypsy heroin music. Pretty cool guy too. Saw them in a tiny club about 15 years back.

Hey, I currently have the HE-400's + a FiiO E10 combo.
 
I am looking to upgrade fairly soon to the HE-560's (As they should fid the sibilance issues I have with my 400's)....
 
Before I buy an upgraded Amp/Dac, I was wondering which ones pair the best with HE-560's for the $200-$250 range?
 
I'm planning on buying the Schitt Magni/Modi 2 combos. Any better recommendations?

 

[jdriver]

It doesn't seem like anyone has noticed but both the HE-560 and HE-400i are on sale for $200 off on HiFIman's website through Jan. 2, 2016.

I owned the first versions of the Magni (and Modi).
I recommend without hesitation the Project Polaris, so much better than the Magni. I can not comment on the Magni 2 Uber though.
 
Edit : Modi 2 Uber + Project Polaris = 150 + 215 = 375, so it is a little above the bugdet ...
