Well my experience with closed hp's, would be that a good hp amp, gets the music out of your head, and into a semblance of a soundstage... But I wouldn't know about those AT's... My Shures look very similar, though With Ludo's headphone amp, it is really better than an ipod or a audiointerface... I actually think you'd be better off just getting lossless music onto the ipod and then possibly try out a good amp, don't bother with the DAC. I don't think any of these small portable jobbies will sound much better than a decent off-board audio-interface... which I have... I don't know this, so really it would be worthwhile to try them out... but before you buy only... as they all use the same things to make noise with... well it could be better, i guess... but that is just my take on it. Lossless on the ipod will make the biggest difference and then a really good hp amp will make more of a diffs. [/QUOTE]
