Do the models in the Xpress series have the same SQ?

What's the ebay nick of the producer?

All righy than. I finished all 182 pages and my conclusion is this: Till i'll save for the Opera, i'll just have to try this cheap or should i say "inexpensive" sollution. Hopefully i'll get a flawless functioning unit Thanks for the thread! P.S - Thanks BadaBing and Penchum.

I've read about 100 pages on this topic and will follow the next 81 when i'll have time but now i have two questions for you guys owners of the zero dac/amp. 1) About the amp: How does it stack against up to 300$ stanadlone amps? And especially for Penchum how does it stack against MKV? 2)...

I wish too more feedback from the persons who listened Arietta/Canamp on K701... @Flargosa Did you get any sense of underpowering when runnning HD580 through arietta?

Hi Penchum! If you by any chance listened MKV side by side with Heed CanAmp especially on K701 , please let us know about the results. Thanks!

I strech k701 around the stand it comes with to lossen the pressure on the ears, and for the headband i keep it streched with an elastic strapped to the upper "bars". I'm curios if it will lossen up.

Isint there anything one man can do to loosen up a bit that headband? I love the sound but after a while a cant concentrate because of the pain... Those engineers ar AKG must have really small heads....

Skylab in your opinion , how much of the Opera offers Arietta? 70%, 80%?

1)I'm sorry, i updated my sig. I dont have the creek anymore. I used it though for a while with K501. All i can say is that for my ears iaudio and k701 sounds more pleasent than creek and K501. I hesitate to say that with the creek would sound better (as in more pleasant). I'm sure it would be...

No.. it is sold I sold it because i found it mediocre as source and amp to drive the HD580. I really wasnt optimistic about k701 and iaudio. I mean i'm very picky, i didnt like HD580 and K501 with creek OBH 21 SE and sold them all. I trully dont know how a tiny DAP manages to produce...

21142. Got ot today. Love it dearly out of the box. I found my CAN.

I bought also K701 and with just the tiny iaudio7 it produces a beuatifull sound. Even though i'm sure that it could benefit immensly from serios source and amp, still K701 straight out of the iaudio sounds more beautifull to me than any of the phones you see in my sig. Enjoy

Ok, so today i received my K701. My experience consists in listening to to the following headphones: K501, HD580, SR-325i, SR-80, MS-1, SR-60 on creek obh 21 SE + a decent DAC. So after the backround check i must tell you that to my ears K701+iaudio7 is the most beutifull sounding rig i have...

Another set of cans entered in the competition, Audio-Tehnica ES7. Now is begining to be tough. So on one hand i have 2x100$ cans (ES7, RP-21) and on the other 2X150$ cans (K271S and DT250). Could anyone shine some light in here?
