- DT880 Pro is very good. Pretty much the same frequency response as HD800.
- K702 is very good as well, better instrument separation than DT880 at the expense of being a tad less extended in the treble region.
- HD600 is a tad too mid-bassy, closed in and lacking sparkle, but it's very good in terms of vocal rendering and it's probably closer to most people's sound system, car stereos and so (in terms of sound signature)
Ive finally decided up with the Senn HD600, which amp and dac for around 100 euros for each one do you recommend me? Would be better to buy a sound card like Asus Xonar Essence STX? I mean, which benefits do I get from this one?
Well, for 200€ there are quite a few options actually. The Schiit stuff, Fulla 2, Magni/Modi stack, the ODAC and Objective 2 (which I have), Micca Origen, SMSL stuff, Hifimediy stuff and usb interfaces from Behringer, Focusrite, Yamaha and the like.
Do you have any preferences regarding connectivity (inputs, outputs), transportability, aesthetics, etc?

Thank you for your answer. I just want to be focused on the functionallity of the amp and the dac rather than aesthetics, because I will set it up to my pc to build a music studio.
Have you tried the Objective 2 with the Sennheiser HD600?, I've heard on many comments that the HD600 gets a grainy texture in the treble region with this amp, what do you think?
For me the term grain or graininess or whatever doesnt mean anything. I read it a lot and still have no clue what people mean when they use that term. I never heard the 600s with the ODAC/O2, but I own the 580 and 650 and I really like em both with the Objective stack.No harshness, no sibilance, nice soundstage and instrument separation. Rendition of bass slam and texture is very nice, voices are very natural in tone and body. Instruments like snares and hihats have a natural snap and decay to them. Well..thats what I hear anyway ^^
If I go by the reviews and threads here on head-fi stuff like the Modi 2 Uber and Magni 2 Uber are supposed to better. I dont know. Maybe. Hopefully some other lads can chime in. ^^
