First post!
Figured if I was going to post something it should be this.
 
Really like my HFi-580s, got them because of Head-Fi. Last headphone I will ever need, unless they break.
Also, by the mouse, those are Apple In-Ears not buds. Really great sound, nothing compared to the 580s though.
Anyone know of a good universal IEM with a similar sound to the 580s?

Those rear ported A5's don't like having their backs against the wall do they?

I didnt want to post in here until I "finished" my main rig. No plans for any major upgrades, might get some BJCs soon. In the future, HD650 and WA6. Dream rig would be HD650, WA6SE and Audeze. Oh and I wanted some denon 2ks too but who knows. Wow... I didnt realize how ridiculous that sounded; "NO PLANS FOR ANY MAJOR UPGRADES". HA!
 
Anyways, here is my humble rig. About $900 later....
 
 

Audioengine A5, Schiit Asgard, HRT Music Streamer +, Audio Technica M50, Sennheiser HD598, UE Triple Fi. 10.
oh and i got a PA2v2 + lod in there somewhere.

Isn't the output impedance of the E9 too high for the 580s?

It's probably a bit too high. Just using the e7 might be better.

Here's my most updated setup ))
 

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

That SS amp looks sweet.

 

[voodoohao]

Haha it's a X-Can V8P, actually a tube amp, the tubes are hidden inside And yeah I love how it looks!

Beautiful headphones. Sweet keyboard too.

Whuuuut? I thought people were all about tube pr0n.

There went my interest. I'm an SS man, but I understand the love for tubes...

Lol, a few added/replaced letters, and this would sound like a completely different conversation.

 

[DjAmTraX]

I have the same MF amp.  Great amp for the money.  What tube are you using?  I have Gold Lion, but I kinda like the stock Jan better.

Woah. 

 Nice job. That's one of the coolest looking rooms I've ever seen, like the place where Batman goes to listen to music, haha.

 
Thanks.

I had to overcome a lot of resistance for my wife to agree on my vision when we were renovating.

Wow, nice room, Navyblue. And K501s 

Thanks.

K501 has been my only "hifi" can for a while.

 That looks more like a command center.

  Very impressive.

 
 

 
It's kind of my throne at home.

The E9 sounds better bass wise, less muddy sounding than the E7. Average listening volume for me at about 9 o'clock with the gain switch down and using the 1/4 inch out.
I reserve the E7 for DAC and portable use. It all matches up perfectly and sounds great to my ears.

It's a good match.  The Asgard warms up the 990s a little and takes some of the sizzle out of the highs.  It is pleasing to me. 
 
However, I feel like the sound stage on the 990s is a little more narrow than my HD600s, and the sound stage on the Asgard is a little more narrow than my WA3.  So, when using my Asgard-990 combo, the sound stage is narrower than my WA3-HD600 combo.  It's not by much, but I can tell.  So, if you are used to massive sound stages, beware.  But, tone-wise, the Asgard-990 combo is very nice.  I like it.  They have good synergy.
 


 

By warm, do you mean to say that it also warms up the mids? Mainly out of curiosity, it would be nice to have an amp which brought out the mids a bit more, however.
