I knew someone would mention this, but I just never found the Senn sound signature to change much no matter what amp is used. You can get a good feel for the sound sig you want to pursue out of a soundcard IMO. Meets are great if you live near a big city, but most of us don't.

I simply hated HD600 out of ipod, but after listening to my friends' HD600 setup, it is simply my favorite now. Same thing with K501, K701 (which is bland out of Ipod). So from my experience, in many cases, a good synergistic setup(doesn't have to be expensive) can turn headphones that you think you don't like into something quite different. |
