I plugged some Mackie HR824mk2's into my Benchmark DAC1, and they pretty much blow the HD650's out of the water. Can anyone recommend a set of headphones that will compete?
Obviously, the speakers will have a larger physical presence.
What I'm asking for is clarity, detail and balance. I thought the K701's had too much treble, but maybe I will try them again.

Not if you're willing to pick up a soldering iron. Build something like a Beta 22 or a Dynamid/Gilmore Reference and your Senns will perk up. You can build either for a few hundred.
