If you want to hold onto the hd598 a little longer so you can do a side by side, I don't mind.

I've had HD598 for about a month now, and it sounds great so far! Clear mids, smooth highs and engaging sound! The only complaint I have is weak bass and slow response, although the former can be somewhat overcome by EQ. Excellent all rounder, I might even buy one for my wife so that we can share the same hobby
Hi!
how are you driving the HD598, the weak bass gets a bit better with a nice amp. Doesn't have to be an expensive one. The HD598 directly out of my Mac with a Schiit Asgard was enough to make my wife's eyes pop out. Amping does improve the HD598 to a certain extend. Don't expect wonders but there definitively is an improvement.
Cheers,

I am driving it with Centrance Hifi-M8 (supposed to have 1.4W of max output), which has built in bass booster (which I use at high setting all the time with HD598). I was considering getting a desktop amp. Is there any tube amp that I can buy around ~$300 which will be considered as a significant upgrade to Hifi-M8?

Hi all. I just purchased a like new set of HD 598s locally for $70. Did I do good?Now to figure out the best source/amp combo.
Wow, nice find! Happy listening!
