RE: Refocusing on h/p listening: planar OR dynamic?

The Beyer DT-880 is a very nice and neutral headphone and should work well with the Atom hpa. I use it with a variety of amps, even with the good old O2 Amp and it works nicely. But it sure is not a headphone with the extra amount of airiness. A Beyer T90 provides a much bigger soundstage and that added airiness you asked for.
Generally an open backed headphone will be much better in that regard. And for Beyerdynamic headphones I can easily recommend the Beyerdynamic A20 hpa, which is not out of this world, price wise. Though for a start, the O2 proved quite nice for the T90 as well - and the Atom is supposed to be the improved succesor to the O2.
Beyond these phones and hpas, it's going to get expensive, i.e. Stax.
