I have so much processing going on in my chain I had to turn in my purist card. I wouldn't even use a balance control, now my chain has soundstage expansion with tubes followed by the BBE Sonic Maximizer, followed by my amps crossfeed and bass boost. Sure, I have a dac with a headphone with no processing, but the processed sound sound way better. Headphones though I need to be clean and neutral.
One poster made the point that recordings and the sound we listen too are all fake anyhow so pick the fake you like...

I'm 75 year old now and I finally decided to splurge on headphones. I just bought a bundle set of STAX headphones and they're truly outstanding. They seem to have clean, tight bass without the need for any equalization. I still prefer listening to my Magnepan speakers with a Rythmik Servo Sub, but at night these new STAX headphones are very enjoyable and I can listen loudly without disturbing my wife. If you want a topnotch headphone experience, try STAX. I don't think you'll be disappointed. It's just unfortunate they cost so much, but in my opinion, they're worth the price.
Happy listening!
