I've had great success with the Audeo PFE012! http://www.headphones.com/Headphones/Audeo-PFE012-PERFECT-BASS-SOUND-ISOLATING-IN-EAR-EARPHONES-BLACK-67316.html I haven't experimented with buying additional filters for the IEM but the salesman at headphones.com told me that the green filter was really good with jazz and stuff while the black would be awesome with classical. I've only heard the green but I man, it's so sweet. I like em more than my HD595s (i think)

I've found the K702 to be really hard to amp. I'm not sure I've heard it with the Nova. At about that price, I really like the DT880 250 Ohms: http://www.headphones.com/Headphones/Beyerdynamic-DT-880-PREMIUM-DYNAMIC-SEMI-OPEN-BACK-FULL-SIZE-STEREO-HEADPHONES-IMPEDANCE-250-OHMS-DT-880-250OHM-56715.html I think these are my favorite for the price for the simple fact that they're so well balanced (extremely neutral)...tubes really round out the tone beautifully. They're also really comfortable!!

I agree on the LCD-2 recommendation. I like the wood case version:) http://www.headphones.com/Headphones/AUDEZ-E-LCD-2-Planar-Magnetic-Open-Back-Over-Ear-Headphones-w-Carribean-Rosewood-and-Wood-Presentation-Box-LCD-2-WB-68861.html For amp recommendation I would go with the SPL Phonitor. It's a very versatile amp. The Silver one is better looking IMO, and it has the helpful bars unlike the black version: http://www.headphones.com/Headphones-Accessories/Sound-Performance-Lab-Phonitor-Headphone-Monitoring-Amplifier-in-Silver-2730-2730-69090.html When I heard these two paired together with Bel Canto DAC III, it was probably the best sound I'd ever heard from any headphone or speaker. Amazing!

Thanks for this.... I didn't know different software would make the music sound different. That's interesting. Do you have any idea why it would sound different? Thanks!

Anyone use this as their main server software? I've heard good things about it but when I used it a while back I wasn't happy with the graphics.
