I would also suggest the Senn HD-25-1 II with a cable transplant using the HD-650 cable. It cleans up the muddiness and gives a much more balanced frequency presntation. Plus they are tough little buggers.
Yep it was good on first listen but gets better as you listen to it more. I like an album that allows me to listen deeper into it every time I play it. Good stuff
The question is how do you get the DSD from the Sony to the dCS without a lot of hacking and cludging? The IEEE 1364 implementation looks pretty dCS specific and I do not think the Sony has SDIF-2 DSD out.
I will be in a wait and see mode. I like the idea of this DAC (or whatever it is) but I'm not so crazy about how they are trying to tie it tightly to their transport. If they add in DSD support on HDMI and a few other items I might have to take another look at it. For right now I'll keep looking.

Not everyone is into writing reviews. I will certainly do a comparison when mine is finished but I have no idea when that will be and when I would do the write-up.
