Does the Q701 soundstage depth benefit much from an amp that costs less than they do? They sound great out of my Xonar DG and a couple old receivers, but I haven't plugged them into anything fancier or well-known.
The soundstage is wide and has so much separation, but is relatively flat and lacks 3-D'ness. The 3-D'ness is ok, and I'll think something sounds good, but I'll switch to DT990 or Senn HD580 to hear a certain movie scene or something again, and I'll think, "oh, that's how that should have sounded, the sounds moving forward and backwards better and with more layering."
To put the question another way, these will never match the depth of a Sennheiser 580 (600) or DT990, right? Even if I could get the 701 to have the depth of the 580 and 990's as they sound out of a Xonar DG, that'd be great.
