The HD 580 was sold for $120 years ago before it was discontinued, and besides the grills and assembly the HD 580 and HD 600 are arguably more similar than different.
I probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a Creative E-MU 0404 USB and a ODAC/O2 stack or other newfangled offerings (I already know I can't tell the difference between the former and something like a Lavry DA11 or Benchmark DAC1).
But an HD600 for $100? I'm skeptical... I'm inclined to believe that the materials alone would cost that much, if not more. I'd think $200 or so would be a reasonable price for them to make a profit.
But so is everyone agreeing that $200 spent on a dac/amp six years ago gets you the same audio quality as $200 spent on a current product?
