Looking into purchasing one in the near future (=


Aurally? Very hard to answer. You'd need time with all of them to assess them. You can't go wrong with either, but the diminishing returns increase with the price, you pay a lot more to get a lot less extra soundwise.

There are features differences - whether those are important or not, is up to you.

Thanks, will take a closer look at them tomorrow. Coming into the shop and having a listen's the hard bit as I'm over in Sydney! Will check out the features tomorrow.

The stuff I listen to is prog-house/trance & other assorted EDM. The STX > HD650 sounds great playing lossless tracks at the moment, I'm just keen to see if I can get more out of the 'phones by adding one of these amps.
