I don't think that there's such a thing as perfect headphone, but the HD 6XX just does sound nice and there's so much detail that I'm still discovering new subtle stuff from tracks that I never heard before.
I just got a modi multibit today, and after immediately putting on a song I'd been listening to alot this week I was pleased with the HD6XX, Mimby, and O2 amp pairing. Since I did not do a back to back and it was only a short 2 minute or so listen whe the modi was fresh out of the box its hard to say whether its just a happy placebo for me, the 6XX is geting more broken in over the last few days, or the new pairing just works well in that song. I'll be listening to them more over the wek with the O2 amp and Mimby as I wait for the Magni 3 to get back from service. Had a bad volume pot which was promptly fixed by Schiit. Good customer service from them IMO. I have not liked the magni 3 with most of my other headphones and dacs, but did not have the HD6XX or Mimby before I sent it back for the bad pot. The only phones I liked with it were my HD 598 Cs. The 558 were still too harsh with the magni 3. So far it looks favorable for the magni/mimby stack, since I at least had a good initial impression of the HD6XX with the Mimby and O2 amp.
