Headphoneus Supremus
As a general nudge to the P7's and the pm-3's... both being closed back, how does the sound stage and signature vary in comparison to the hd650s? Im okay with a pretty neutral sound sig, but emphasis on certain areas isn't unwelcome.
Open headphones typically have much better soundstage than closed.
So would an external dac provide more clarity or what?
Maybe. Possibly. Depends a bit on who you ask and what device you are connecting to. Some devices have very low distortion output, so an internal DAC may not improve much or at all. And then how much an improvement, when there is any, is very much a subjective thing. I see people swearing that X made a giant difference with equipment where I find the differences is minor. Know that the majority of people agree that the biggest SQ benefit usually comes from (a) the quality of the headphones and (b) that you have an amp capable of powering them.
