Well, I can't settle this very polite disagreement, because, after all, it's a matter of taste. But I just plugged my trusty Senn 580s into the Panny for the first time. I've read a number of folks on the net talking about the headphone out on this amp being terrible. Hadn't even tried it up to this point for that reason. I can't imagine what they're talking about. I don't think my Senns have ever sounded that good. I know they've never delivered that much bass before. I listened to Lucinda Williams' "Car Wheels On A Gravel Road," a pretty well-recorded album, and the detail, clarity, range and dynamics were great. The bass? Just extraordinary. I didn't know the Senns were capable of that, and I'm used to listening to them through a dedicated Headroom headphone amp. Not one of the more expensive ones, but still a very nice little amp. Harsh? Cold? Didn't sound that way to me... I like this cheap receiver more every day.
I dunno. Maybe the folks who said this headphone out was awful are listening to a different version of this amp. Maybe I'm just hearing what I want to hear, but I know exactly what these Senns are supposed to sound like. Or maybe it's the cans. 580s are very warm - nothing even remotely brittle or trebly about them. I'll try the Etys tomorrow. They are much crisper than the Senns. Maybe they'll make the Panny sound bad...
