Sennheiser HD 650's thin sounding?

Janeb, I had the X-CAN V3, and I found it to be totally underwhelming. Try a new headphone amp.

Here is a link to the fake HD650.

Spiritualized, I'm pretty sure that your'e right regarding the X-can. I noticed today that the latest version has been removed from the market. I have come to believe that all Musical Fidelity gear is nothing more than mid-fi at best.
Yesterday, I heard a pair of MF Titan's at a friends... they were a joke, my friend is taking them back as soon as he can. Overpriced total garbage as far as I could tell!

I agree that its unlikely that the 650s are the problem, unless of course they are counterfeit. I'd never describe my 650s as thin. Some might find them a bit laid back, but thin they are not. Never heard the X-can amp. Is there a possibility of an impedance mis-match btwn the can and the amp?

Grado PS1000s have far better resolving power and refinement.
I moved from the 650s to those. You will probably get significant improvement for the 650s from APS (A Pure Sound) or Zu 650-specific headphone cables (at least I did,
but the Grado PS1000s in stock form are in another league
to my ears). Check out the big headphone sites for this.
