I got mine today as well and they've seriously blown me away compared to the X1's, I thought bass may be lacking but I'd say it's even better than the X1's are for clarity and punch. Separation on instruments is epic and pronounced vocals were giving me goosebumps. I've bought an O2/ODAC dac/amp unit to replace my STX, I've heard it's about as balanced and transparent you can get for a combo and I thought instead of trying to make the 700's warmer like I'd originally planned I want them to be as close to their original sound as possible otherwise I may as well of bought other headphones
Not to discourage your plans, but I wouldn't use O2/ODAC with HD700. A lot of people have reported that this pairing isn't good and will produce sharp, piercing treble, along with a thin sound.
You should stick to some of the suggestions made here in this thread with regards to which amps pair well with HD700. Up to you if you want to go with O2/ODAC, but don't say I didn't warn you.
