[QUOTE="Doge, post: 1050401, member: 15439"] It's not that the 660 S is a step down per se, it's more that it does not scale as well with better amplifiers... I personally found the Zen DAC wasn't really able to image very well on the 6XX when things got complex anyway. I also I generally found that the upper-mid dip in the 660 very welcome as the 600 can be a bit shouty with the side-on driver angling and the bass is of a higher quality and better extended, but the treble quality is not quite as good as the 600/650. None of the 6xx series are really perfect, although if they were all similarly priced I'd probably take the 660 over the others, but I do own the 6XX as a pallet cleanser, of the Sennheiser stable I quite enjoy the 560 S... it's a significant upgrade over the 598 and closer to what I look for in a headphone.
