I have a very similar setup, probably cheaper, and the Beyers have been phenomenal.  Even before broken in ^.^

 

This is too expensive from Senns :(

I really need a headphone amp for my Denon D7000s and I still haven't gotten around to ponying up the cash for one. They're just so insanely expensive!

Sennhieser has some really sick headsets... think they want to use this to push them into the mainstream headset group, but who knows.. But really? that much ( Basically 2000 moneys) who they hell are they trying to sell this to? If it was 400? I think I would bite the bullet just to see if it will kill my MixAMP from Astro. I am guessing it will but does it have usb support and digital audio support ? O_O

Schiit products that have DC voltage spikes upon shut down that the owner tried to refute? Nope.avi

I hope they come out with more affordable amps in the future as well.

Affordable and Sennheiser do not belong in the same sentence. Their products are obviously not aimed at poor people.
