Gonna be in the market for this headphone soon. Should I get this? A modded HD800? SR009? What?

In my opinion: At this price point ($1500 or double that and rapidly increasing) it's absolutely imperative to listen for yourself before buying.
I'm coming from a Paradox Slant.
For your wallets sake don't read this review

I don't think it's necessary to spend huge money to get great sound. It helps (in most cases, I think) but I don't think it's absolutely necessary.
Oh I read the whole thing! Should I part ways with my Burson soloist? Very very tempting.
What a great read. I have the HD 800's and the 281 violectric sounds like an awesome fit.
Better start saving. I've wanted that amp for a while now...
Anyway. I bet the HE 1000's would just kill with the v-281 along with a substantial DAC like ether a chord cute DAC or an ARCAM irDAC. Wow. I wish I was going to CANJAM London this year.
Could very well be. On the other hand, Chord's Dave is just a few days away. Much «cheaper» and maybe comparable in sound quality.
So why are the things hooked up to the HE1000 so darn big??? HE1000 is so capable that it makes anything sound great. Here is MY setup, with an iPod Shuffle driving the HE1000 (it's as small as the jack on the headphone cord!):
