I've been listening now for about 10 hours and the D6 is good...really good. The extra weight on the bottom end is immediately evident while the mids are just right, clear and bold without being pushy. Now, I'm notoriously cranky about the high-end and dislike any etchy, over the top sound that some consider to be the mark of high fidelity. For instance, the Grado 325 is unlistenable to my ears (owned for about 4 hours and immediately got rid of them). The D6 has a shimmering top end without any objectionable tizziness (all of this with the stock op-amps), somewhat of a change from my initial impression. I'm listening though Grado SR60i's. WILL SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY THESE ARE NOT THE BEST HEADPHONES ANYONE COULD EVER WANT OR NEED! SERIOUSLY, WHAT ARE THEIR DEFICIENCIES FOR 79 BUCKS? The D6 improves my Senn 650's and removes a good part of the "veil" (so does a Benchmark USB). Compared to the stock D10, which I found objectionably bright out of the box (a Topkit fixed this completely), the D6 is superior. At this point and without auditioning an ordered Topkit the D6 fits very nicely in my sweet spot.
