    Regarding the HD6X0 - don't be discouraged if you're not "happy" with the way it sounds. It is admired by many, perhaps a gold standard, and it is supposed to scale up with better upstream equipment. But it's not for everyone. You might be seeking a livelier or just different presentation/tonality/sound signature.

    Don't throw more money for amps/dacs/cables at a headphone you may never really like; its sound signature isn't gonna change all that much, if at all.

    Judge with your own ears, seek and consider advice, but don't be bullied into shunning what might be the best bang for buck that makes you happy.
