You stole my post.

Disagree...the HD800 has tighter, deeper lows but not MORE lows. The HD700 might be a safer bet, its more "fun" like the HD650.

I have question is it good match HD650 with Xonar ST ? or maybe will be better with HD600 ?

just ordered the senn 4 pin XLR  cable for the 650s. ive never heard a headphone balanced and i am a skeptic so im not expecting much...... any thoughts on what i can expect?

Just hooked my 650s up to my new Asgard, using the HRT Microstreamer's DAC...the sound is considerably more dynamic than from my uS alone, more punch to the bass and a noticeably wider and deeper soundstage. Separation is also noticeably improved and the overall sound feels more clear. Definitely a good combo.

It is an Onkyo C - 7030

I just sold my hd650's and now bought another pair... it did not take long for me to realize that I cant match that sound with anything else. Balance and performance aside its something about the presentation. Everything just sounds like its real, like its with you in the room. I know people like to complain about the soundstage but I find in soundstage depth and seperation they are perfect. I can tell exactly where everyone is. Its a very 3d sound and every entity in the space has body... its not just a sound coming from a direction.

Thanks for the replies.
 
Nice to hear there's more or less phones as I described but they're way beyond what I can afford. The thing is that I got such a noticeable different sounding headphone when I put on JMoney earpads on the Beyers that I am now a ''believer'' in replacing earpads. Something tells me that uniting less mids and more low/high through pads or foam mods will be impossible though. Or is it? By the way, CD-R King Leather Pads as described here, are they still for sale somewhere?

Interesting. A cable that does all that? Which ones do you mean exactly?

That would depend on whether or not you are running a fully balanced amp & DAC. If so, expect cleaner resolution and better soundstage (YMMV).

Running HDVD800. I think is sounds superb already on standard outputs so any improvement is a Brucey bonus. Can't wait !!!
