unfortunately no
the best thing is to use an EQ to cut the treble (or upper mids) or whatever is bothering you
The only other headphones that have the wide airy soundstage of the K701 is the AD700 and HD800 from what I've heard

HAHA TIME FOR LOCUS DESIGN
http://www.locus-design.com/
I then braid this masterpiece of a wire into a proprietary braid so that the conductors are evenly spaced, and arranged in the configuration I want them to be.
Around this core, I then add many different layers of shielding and damping. Some of the materials I use are carbon fiber, cotton, SPC braid, ERS fabric, Nylon, Teflon, and many more. This damping/shielding arrangement ensures that the inner cores that carry the data and VDC lines are isolated not only from each other, but from any external influences to the cable, be they mechanical, or electrical. In addition, these layers damp the conductors themselves, and prevent micro vibrations inside the cable from affecting the signal. These layers are one of the reasons that the cable takes a while to "settle" back in after it has been moved, or unplugged.
I use two of these "assemblies" above, one carries the VDC and ground, the other carries the data +/- signal. These two assemblies are then braided around a core of different materials to further damp them, space them, and isolate them from each other.
Over the whole tri-braided assembly I then add more layers of shielding and damping in order to damp the whole internal build of the cable, and further isolate the inner assembly from the outside world.
Everything about the Cynosure is custom, the connectors, the wire, the way I damp and shield it, and even how I terminate it with the best Mundorf solder and a special adhesive material that not only does not negatively impact the sound, but makes the ends very strong and durable.
Starting at $3549 for 3FT.

Solid state is also a continuous clip, but it's not the same as how tubes clip... SS clips as you hit the diode drop, tubes simply clip as you leave the linear section of the operating range. If tubes used feedback, they'd behave more like SS.
digital is a hard clip. Perfect Fourier series.

SS output stages can clip pretty hard and depending on topology can look a bit like a flat line as they come close to hitting the rails. Earlier stages will hit some other limit and usually look pretty crazy. Op amps can do all sorts of things when they exceed the input design range.
