Hey everyone!
I've just recently become interested in the wide world of high-end audio equipment, and the wise men (and women) of this forum have been my teachers every step of the way. Numerous late nights have been spent tattooing this website on my retinas. I've now decided to take the plunge into headphone territory, and who better to ask for help?
I'm very interested in the HD600's with, as many have professed their love for, the addition of the HD650 cables. However, one thing has stuck out in my reading: it seems as though some features of this upgrade (improved bass, etc.) bring the HD600's closer to the HD650's. So, would it be worth it to simply pick up the HD650's outright, instead of the HD600's with the cable upgrade? Are they all-that-much different in this case? Will the HD600's retain their renowned neutral quality, or become more akin to the more coloured HD650's?
Again, I am fairly new to this, so feel free to interject with more accurate info if need be.
Thank you all so much!
Side note: I will be using these for mostly rock and some classical music.
P.S. I'm considering the JDS Labs Objective2 + ODAC to power either set for computer use. Would you all consider this to be a good choice?
