  Anyone have any thoughts on how an Aune T1 (not MK2) will drive the 560? Right now its pretty ok with my HE-400 - i have it at 65% max.  560 and 400 have similar specs 90db/35ohm vs 92.5db/35ohm respectively. 
 
The Aune can output 1000mw@32ohm..
 
Not sure i can afford a new amp to go with it right away. 

 
HiFiMAN updated their specs for the HE-560s to Impedance: 50+/-8 Ohms.  Just something to bear in mind.  Mine measured right around 50.

It seems the 560 is less sensitive than he-500 perhaps even by a significant margin. That's what the anecdotal evidence suggests.

^ You should be okay for some time 

It won't sound its absolute best but it will sound good

I can attest to that being so.  My HE-500s measure around 34 ohms, and on the Lyr they're rarely past 10 o'clock, while the HE-560s are pushing noon, if not higher, depending on the recording.

Ah man..thats about 40% more resistance than the 400s. Guess ill see if i can find a good used amp, and use the Aune as a DAC.

I just read the last half of the 6 Moons review of the Lyr, and he was running the HE-6s on it.  Gushing might be putting it mildly.  While I'd like to hear the HE-560s on a SS amp, I'm quite happy with them (and the HE-500s) on the Lyr.  Hell, while I'm wishing, I'd like to hear the HD 800s on the Lyr, as that's another pairing the reviewer went gaga over.
 
Also, I love tubes, with quite a few ponies in the stable

The Aune should be fine, my D100 has about as much power and it drives the HE560 quite well.

Found someone thatll sell me a modded Emotiva Xmini A100 for a decent price - they seem to like it over at the DIY, it should be overkill for my current 400s and probably the 560s.  But i can use it as speaker amps for a home theatre at some point i suppose.

Please,

Could someone could share further information regarding the stock headphone Hifiman HE-560 cable beyond the
"a premium cable comprised of crystalline copper and crystalline silver".

Thanking you in advance.

4 strands of copper wire and 4 strands of silver wire afaik. So both a silver and a copper cable, actually.

It's a cryogenically-treated, one-directional, 99,9999999999999% oxygen free, diamond vapor coated, distortion-free, bendable, dynamic synchronized, ultra-wide-frequency compatible, electromagnetically enhanced cable, enriched with beryllium, built with conductivity stimulating production methods. I've heard it's also enriched with dihydrogenmonoxide to increase it's transient response.

He forgot to mention that it was made in Middle Earth by the elves.  And as a fellow member of the Inklings once remarked as Tolkien was starting to read from some story or another, "Oh God, not another #^%&^!@ elf."  Still, they make some killer cables.  I think what you really need is the Dark Lord's amp.  You know
 
 

One amp to rule them all, one amp to find them,​

One amp to bring them all and in the darkness drive them.​

 
 
Or something like that

Is it sold by Arglebargle by any chance?
 
On a more serious note, I can't help but be a little bummed about the revised impedance spec.  Not a big thing in the big picture, but my amp doesn't drive higher Z loads well and I was pleased the original spec of 35 ohms was lower than the LCD-2's 50 ohms which would help the amp put a little more power into the load.

That would be the Ragnarok, it will be the end of the World as we know it, but it sounds fine.
