Blue Dragons for HD-650?
there is a thread about sennheiser replacement cables over the next page.i am using the silver dragon and the sound is not bright at all, but i agree that it has less bass than most people would like. 
Sennheiser upgraded cable Cardas/Equinox?
nice to know that you have found the cable you need :) is the blue dragon as stiff and heavy as the silver dragon? 
Which DAC for computer based system?
basically any dac with digital in is OK, a benchmark or an apogee should serve you well.

Sennheiser upgraded cable Cardas/Equinox?
good luck, i have tried a few copper cables before and so far i have only found the vh audio pulsar and audiogeek nitrogens enjoyable.

Apogee Mini DAC: Connection questions
i am using a dynahi with my mini-dac, a properly built dynahi sounds way better than driving the 650s with the balanced out.skip the usb option if you don't really need to use it with your computer. 
Apogee Mini DAC: Connection questions
dshea:i just did a quick test with my headphones, i think the line out had a less next-to-your-ears feel plus a slightly clearer sound across the board than the headphones out (can be inaccurate, take it with a grain of salt). the line out can dri... 
Apogee Mini DAC: Connection questions
