As an owner of 3 TH-X00's and a Denon AH-D2000, I say forego the TH-X00 and consider the Modhouse Argon Mk3 instead. It's better in ALL technical areas other than subbass impact and will perfectly compliment the HD58X. Yet it's not a boring analytical headphone like many other planars... has warmth, fullness, darkness, and a soul to it, like the TH-X00 does (though it's not dark like the Argon). It's a headphone that edges in on the upper end Mid-fi/lower end of Hi-fi, falling nicely between an TH-X00 and STAX Lambda spectrum - but closer to the STAX end of things. Soundstage is much wider than either the HD58X or TH-X00 with equivalent imaging... it games and movies VERY well. Use the money saved from not going with the much more expensive TH-X00/TR-X00 and have it go towards a decent amp to properly power the Argon Mk3... once you you have a decent amp to power the Argon you will also have it for any future higher end headphones.

Mohannad13An Argon Mk3 is not a T50RP... it's unique and is noticeably cleaner with less audible distortion than any Fostex TH-X00 or derivative. Its more like a STAX in how clean it sounds... at least on my Gustard rig (X20U DAC with customized H10 amp). The only things a TH-X00 is better at is subbass impact/presence and brighter, more energetic treble. I also do A/B direct comparisons from a TASCAM MH-8... a headphone amp that can run up to 8 headphones simultaneously for studio monitoring. Every headphone sees same source and have identical amps... only difference is the headphones themselves.

Mohannad13Either should be okay, very decent power @ 50 ohms for both.
