[QUOTE="pandaattack, post: 862789, member: 20923"] If I am buying used or local, I am skipping the DAC for now. I will use my Yamaha AV Receiver as an amp. I will then do a couple hours listening and then visit someone with a decent DAC and compare my hearing experience. If I am buying from amazon, I will import a DAC as well too lessen the shipping blow. Here is my list so far: At the top we have the 600/650. As majority of forums have these at the top or near the top of their lists for my price range. - Beyerdynamics DT990 - Audio Technica ATH-AD900X - Monoprice 116050 Monolith M1060 - Sennheiser HD 598/599 What more do I need to look at to have broad enough comparison? I will be visiting scuba over the weekend. I think after that visit I will have a much, much better idea of what I'm after. I will try to avoid testing sets that is way out of my budget, as this will add more confusion. :popcorn: [/QUOTE]
