RE: Has anyone here been disappointed by "flagship" headphones?

I had an OTL amp and they sounded good from top to bottom, except they were a bit on the colored side. I wanted something a little more honest, which is why I bought the K701s.

There is a lot of disagreement about headphones, if you dig deep enough on head-fi and i think a lot of it has to do with a user's preference. Also, the source is very important, esp. if it's digital.

The fact that I find the HD800s more tolerable on my SS amp may have more to do with the source i use (Audio Note 4.1x vs. Wavelength Proton) than the amp.
