Terms like state-of-the-art, no compromises, better topology & technology may very well be true. But that in itself means nothing to me. I'm sure inferior sounding products boast the same marketing speak.

What about jitter data or whatever else that can be quantified and/or shown objectively? If indeed the 861v6 has lower jitter than the HD621, then I'm eager to listen to what anyone has to present.

But otherwise, I'm still trying to justify the price difference. Of course if I had money to burn, then I'd buy a 500K sports car too. It probably won't perform much better than a 100K sports car. But for the additional 400K I get bragging rights.
