The FiiO E10K--all-new DAC and amp stages
Yes, the line out isn't touched by the E10K's amp. I used to have me E10K's line out running to a lepai amp for my speakers and it worked perfectly.- xfloggingkylex

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
I listen to music through spotify and google play music, o2/odac on the K7XX and enjoy the experience quite a bit more than with the 598s.- xfloggingkylex

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
I picked these up on the first drop and paired with my O2/ODAC they sound fantastic. I've left my HD 598's at work permanently and love coming home to these. I want to try different types of headphones, because when I only had the 598's I was sure that was the sound profile a liked, and now I...- xfloggingkylex

The FiiO E10K--all-new DAC and amp stages
Go Fiio E10K IMO. I haven't used the SMSL, but I am currently using the E10K at work and still love it. Benefits over the SMSL include bass boost (if you like music that benefit from it, the switch helps quite a bit. The other big one for me was a line out for speakers that lets you keep...- xfloggingkylex

Well keeping the amp set too low can introduce imbalances in the channels from what I've been told.- xfloggingkylex

If your system is too loud on 1 with low gain, turn down the system volume in your computer so you can turn the amp up a little more.- xfloggingkylex

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
From what I have read, the idea is to keep the dials away from the extremes. I usually try to keep it as close to half way (5) as possible. If low gain at a 9 gets you the same volume as a 4 on high gain, use high gain. Similarly, if a 2 on high puts you where a 6 on low would be, use low...- xfloggingkylex

Check out JDS, their customized O2/ODAC allows you to select a rear power jack for an extra 3 bucks. Looks snazzy on my desk. EDIT: Link http://www.jdslabs.com/products/48/o2-odac-combo/- xfloggingkylex

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
I tested mine by listening to music about as loudly as I could stand for a few seconds and then turned it up just slightly more to test. I don't care if maxed out it rattles because I wont ever hear it at that volume. I feel I have reasonably tested mine to not rattle in use and that is good...- xfloggingkylex

The AKG K7XX Massdrop First Edition Thread
Awesome. I am using these out of an O2/ODAC and have been enjoying them very much. I was using the HD598 previously and the bass alone has made watching tv/movies very enjoyable. I am looking forward to spending more time listening to these headphones.- xfloggingkylex

The FiiO E10K--all-new DAC and amp stages
It has a gain knob on it that will let you control the volume. I run my OS volume at 100% and then the amp at 2 with my ATH-AD700's. That is using low gain, have to drop it to 1 if its on high gain. Basically you will be fine because 0 is no sound, so just turn the knob until you like the...- xfloggingkylex
