Well, I might be getting rid of my X3 soon. I just bought a used X5 for $225 shipped from a well rated seller on Amazon. Here's hoping I'm happy with the purchase!

I have an E12 I can pair with it as needed for my HD700. If I decide I don't like the X5, it won't exactly be hard to find someone eager to pick up a used one at a good price and get my money back.

I gather that what is being questioned is the relative merit of sampling an LP at 16/44 vs 24/96. The only valid approach is to try both and see if the difference is meaningful to you.
It is worth purchasing a good 24/96 or 24/196 track to see how you like it.
Miles Davis Kind of Blue 24/192 is a good place to start. I think it sounds incredible but your mileage may vary.
But I have beer tastes. I actually like the 24/96 mastering of the first Crosby Still Nash album which has been panned by many people.
Both are on HD Tracks.
You have HD700s? That interests me a little as when I compared them to HD650s their was no subtle difference to my ears. I far prefer the HD650. I assume you also tried both and I'm curious what you prefer between the two.
I never got a chance to audition either, I had a chance to buy it new at $310 and took it. Even trying the LCD 2.2F and the HD700 side by side, I'm happy with what I have.
Some users report that HD 600 is better than HD 650 with some destop amps, never got the chance to audition HD 700 but i tried HD 800 with Graham Slee Solo SRGII PSU1 , it's HEAVEN !!!
Hi OriginalSnuffy
I have now the Miles Davis Kinds of Blue, but the 24/96 version, it sounds really great, better than the other versions, you were right...
Do you hear on the first trumpet sounds on the song "So What" at the end of the trumpet sound a kind of harsh sound like a very very fast water gurgling noise ?
On the other records I have I can bearly hear it. Or just its me, or it is failing my system?
thanks man !!
It's depend on the ear preferences. With proper setup and certain genre, I dare to say HD600 is more enjoyable than HD800. But HD800 is really heavenly when compared to HD600. Anyway, some say HE500 is better than HD600. But when I compared them both side by side, there's no way I will buy HE500.
