That's your opinion, I stated mine.
Did you hear them amped?
They were connected to a McIntosh amp at store.

It is. In some ways it is actually better. It doesn't look as bad in person, but it is very ugly!
Different strokes for different folks then.
I was simply answering a question, they have gorgeous 650 like mids, nice bass and nice mellow yet a bit sparkly treble. The momentum 1 was horrible IMHO the 2 is better.
Hello!
Can I ask what do you think would be the best DAC (sound quality-wise only) for the HD650 under $250?
HRT MSIII, iFi Nano iDSD, Audioengine D1, ODAC, others?
I plan to get a Kameleon 2 Desktop as soon as it's available.
Thanks!
o2/odac is all you need, best dac/amp on the planet for a great price. As Z said, if you buy a dac/amp for more than a certain price point it's either doing something different for the sake of being different, or it's doing something wrong.
Modi2 for 99$ from schiit audio. Great pairing for hd650I agree with Z (at least for DACs). That said, I'm in a bit of a weird spot: I've got a €200 Amazon.it coupon from a previous refund, and was looking to spend it on a DAC. Obviously ODAC is not available on there, so was wondering if it was any worth to spend a little more for those other options (iFi, D1, HRT).
Do you think the differences are minor, or psychoacoustical, or some weird implementation for the sake of sounding different?
(Z also seems to like SMSL Sanskrit 6th, but that's also unavailable on .it so far) :confused_face(1):

Please don't try the O2 with HD650s. Unless you like clipping.

Does it make sense that the Magni 2 Uber would only need the volume turned up slightly to power the 650's well? Starting at 7 O'clcok (all the way down) and turning it up very slowly, you hear the right speaker turn on right away, quietly, and then the left speaker comes on well before you get to 8 o'clock. By 9 o'clock, the headphones are about as loud as I'd ever want to listen. All the way up would be 5 O'clock, and i imagine the headphones would be totally blown and ruined if I ever turned it much past 12 or 1. Never tried as I don't want to risk it. Does this sound weird to anyone, or normal?
