Well I dare to say when a HD600 or 650 well driven it outplayed the Denon D9200 on resolution and transparent . I compared them on my gigs Melco N100 -> a USB reclocker -> a DDC -> Weiss 205 -> V550. I still think can improve the HD650 more with better power supply unit and cables. My Hypsos for the music server was sent for repairing and I am thinking about a Plixier 400 elite bac and another linear power supply unit for Weiss 205. Like I said Sennheiser Hd650-600 can reflect your systems that why they are reference headphones so many years.

To me, resolution and transparency are really not d9200's things. Plus it is a closed back, it is really hard to compete with a well driven hd650. Maybe d9200 has some advantages on some genres.

I only use my d9200 when I need a closed back or travelling. I also don't hear much difference on d9200 on different amps.

Thanks Melting735 and LoveKnight. Good to know what these inexpensive ones have in store for me if properly driven. TBH, they have to compete with the beyerdynamic DT1990 which are open-ones, but these will be subject to further investigation with the v550 from hour 301-600 of the burn-in process, because I already own them and know them well since 2017 and RNHP already made them getting better.
I watched a review by wavetheory, which was not meant to be like this, but I interpreted this as an devaluating assessment of the 6x0 because of roll-off in the lows and as far as I remember in the upper treble, too. He used to V281 amongst others.

But V550 does widen the spectrum of realistically possible acquisitions, that's for sure.

Wow. I just had a second hand but very good condition Sennheiser HD800 here and the pair with Vioelectric V550 is fabulous. I will report more after hearing more but I think V550 pairs very well with Sennheiser cans. In addition to Sennheiser HD800. What an upgrade from Sennheiser HD650 to HD800 with better resolution, speed, transparency, details, soundstage. I am using with 6.3mm jack only and thinking to upgrade to higher headphone cable like Brise audio cable from Japan.

I have a V550 coming tomorrow

What are your thoughts on the stock power cable? Sufficient or would you recommend an upgrade?

Thanks

I'm sure that after the electricity went through miles of electrical cables and transformers and such, the last 3 feet of the power cord is going to matter?

They will influence. The power cable is essentially a filter that will add a slightly different flavor to the sound.

I cannot speak out fully convinced, but I said to myself: if I spend this much for a good amplifier, spending 15% of the amount on cables (XLR, Power cord, 3.5toRCA) wouldn't be too much, at least for peace of mind. Nevertheless, I think the stock power cable is definitely a good start, but I didn't yet make any efforts or spent time to watch out or search for differences between inexpensive and not so inexpensive cables.
