Good afternoon,
I bought myself a pair of Sennheiser HD650s the other day, which I'm over the moon with except for one thing - They highlight the utter inability of my current setup:
Sony CDPXE 530 and Sony TAFE330 with the interconnects that came in the box.
I'm going to take the plunge and update my CD player and Amp - I have about £700 (€1000 or $1300) to spend but would pay more if I can really hear the difference.
I've read that the x-can v3 is meant to be a good match for the 650s but are there any other amps (I'd prefer integrated really) that work particularly well with my cans?
Assuming I go with an integrated amp, rather than a headphone amp. Would something like Project's headbox be a better option than the headphone jack in the amp?
The Cambridge Azur range is also meant to be fairly impressive, so I was going to test that as well as a Cyrus CD6s (although that's more than I'd really like to spend).
Is there any kit in particular you could recommend?
Thanks in advance and sorry for being a newbie.
