Sidegrade/Upgrade to '03 DT880. Need Opinions (HAVE used search)

[chinesekiwi]

Basically I'm thinking of sidegrading/upgrading my headphone to have something different.

Keep in mind I will no doubt have the 'proper' amplification and source to give most headphones significant justice so these aren't really an issue too much.

* I listen to all genres
* I don't think the AKG sound is to my liking so don't recommend me the K701's
* The more super detail, the better
* Wide soundstage so no Grados unfortunately
* Medium amount of bass is sufficient. Other spectrums = can be endless but I like a balanced sound more than anything else since I listen to all genres.
* I prefer a 'medium fullness' sound but don't mind too much if it's thin sounding or super-full sounding.

I was thinking of the Sony SA3000 but I haven't found out to much luck how it compares to a '03 or '05 DT880 so any information (the more info the better

) on the comparison of these two = great.
With the amount I have read up, these two do sound quite similar.

EDIT: To be honest, reading up, I don't get why the 'mid-fi' Sonys (SA1000, SA3000) don't get as much love as they should around these parts.

Stax, maybe?

I love the detailed sound of DT880'03 and ER4 (strangely was indifferent towards K701). The SR202 offers something along those lines but with bigger soundstage, more air, and in many cases more detail; however, the DT880'03 IMO is still the more versatile can (to my ears more spot on tonal balance and more versatile bass).
