Thanks so much, I'll have to add that to my audiophile dictionary.
You're welcome. This may help too.

How do people find the 650 scaling with DACs ? Lots here on amp scaling.
So, what I'm saying is: same headphone amp, with changes in DAC alone. No combo amp/DACs.

Have you considered the Audioengine D1? I have been using that for the past two years and been very pleased with it. I don't use it much with my HD-650's though because it's for my commute (with Beyer T51i's). My HD-650's are normally paired with a NuForce HDP at home.
The D1's a little bulkier, but is very reliable and a definite improvement over the builtin audio (I don't like the idea of the DAC/Headphone adapter being part of the USB plug, too much opportunity to damage my laptop on the train.)
I don't know how the D1 and D3 compare sonically, but thought I'd throw this out there.
amazon has them at 427.00 now, used on eBay for 299.00.I also don't know where people are finding the HD650s for $300.currently
The MSRP is $650 in Canada and in the States they run about $550.
Here in Sweden I found this fantastic product that will improve the sound of your HD650 or actually any other headphone or loudspeaker available. What I noticed is a slightly higher volume, tighter bass, much clearer mids and treble. Even soundstaging and imaging noticably improved. I am not sure whether it is available in other countries. I guess though that there is a similar product. It only costs $10.
I don't completely agree with this.
I've found the EL-8s to scale brilliantly with amps and DACs
They respond really well to various equipment, for example I've been blown away with the liveliness in the sound when i plugged it into the Little Dot I+
