and what would that interface be?
May I suggest an AKG 712 next? :D
Also, I'm loving my M1060c opens. They're often on sale and a splendid open planar imo

Using an audient id14 mk1 at the min, there's a noticeable level difference between the hd599s and hd600s. The 712s do look cool, I did think about them for a little bit. Maybe Sennheiser just don't make the phones for me.

>audient id14

didn't know that brand. Seems sweet. Love me a good accessible knob!
One of the major reasons why I'm still lingering over the jds El AMp...
the 712s are a very capable hp with good soundstage, a significant jump from the 600s or 6xxs or 58x. I've had a few encounters and the only gripe is the headband system, but that is something 'easily' modded.
happy music!

Yeah man audient are pretty decent, make some okay mixing desks as well, they're not quite SSL, but are pretty sweet. Definitely will check out the 712s, if I sell some of the others 👍

Perosnally/ I dont think the k712's are well built at all and keep cracking and chipping even though I am super careful with them and dont use them a lot anymore. AKG quality has really gone off the deep end...

on sale, I find their sound is worth it for me.
There's a cup mod somewhere for them around the webz and the headband can be changed. Annoying yes, but, I like the fun of doing it. Sort of kills its second-hand market value though, but understandably
