I have had a pair of sennheiser hd555 for a few years now- they are ok, but they are obviously limited. Last week I bought a set of HD600s. The sound definitely improved, but the sennheiser veil is more apparent than ever. It's like the music is being played behind a curtain. My source material is Hdtracks/DVD-A/SACD - (minimum 24/88, but mostly 24/96 and 24/192). I am using the JDS Labs C5D amp/DAC combo.
I've decided that I want to make an investment in a decent set of headphones and potentially an amp/DAC. My budget is $1500 total. I am looking for a well-rounded phone with accurate sound presentation. I'd like something with a wide soundstage and an open-back design. My source material is pretty good, so I'm not worried about how forgiving the headphone is, but I will be listening for several hours at a time.
