It may just be me but whenever I have the USB CHARGE set to ON, I lose the audio. This is a hassle because I have to charge it everytime I want to use it. Also happens when docked into the E09K. Any help? 

Yes they should be fine. Please update on the sound quality of the Q701s with the modi+vali. I considered this combo quite a bit ago.

I tried so hard to remove the inner plastic piece but couldn't do it. It took a while but I removed the tape without removing the plastic. :D   Now so far I'm loving the extra boost in the sub-bass and mid-bass without changing the highs and mids, but I did notice a slight decrease in...

Haha, I was going to get this same exact unit but decided to purchase the E07K and E09K bundle instead. I love the E07K when paired with the V-Moda M-100s. Great buy!

Quick question. Can I use this DAC with a seperate amp? (But wouldn't that be double amping the signal? Because I heard that's bad)

Thanks for the insights, it was very helpful. I've decided that I'm going to try the mod. Be right back!

Looking for opinions from people who have tried it regarding the bass mod by removing the plastic tape.   1) I know that I will gain more bass but what will I lose in exchange (soundstage, detail etc.)?   2) Overall, do you recommend doing the bass mod? 

Found a solution: I disabled the USB Charge option on the E07K while being docked in. Never had the problem since.

Can anybody compare the Magni & Modi stack with the Fiio E09K/E07K combo? I currently have the Fiio combo and might want to upgrade in the future. I use the AKG Q701s and so far I'm loving the combo.

Hi everyone,   Today I picked up a Fiio E07K + E09K for my Q701s and tested it. I had all the settings right for Foobar and windows and it worked perfectly until about 30 minutes after; There was no sound coming out of the headphones. Whenever I try to play a file I get this...

Yeah but first I put painter's tape to the area I'm going to apply the glue and the foam. So when I decide to remove the foam, I just peel off the tape and the glue marks will be on the tape itself and not the headband. 

    What I did to solve the bump issue. It looks a lot cleaner than wrapping the whole headband with foam. It's colour green too so it goes with the green theme of the Q701s.

Thanks. It was a good read but I didn't find anything that interested me.

I made the wooden stand at school with only about 40 minutes left in class. I had limited resources (but free!) so I'm quite happy with what it turned out to be. Total costs: $0        

Hi everyone,   I'm looking for the best Amp/DAC combo for the AKG Q701 that are no more than $300 total (including shipping). I have never owned or tried a headphone amp so this will be my first. Because the treble of Q701's are ear-piercing at times for classic rock (through my laptop, so...

What about the Schiit Vali + Modi? Do they pair well with the Q701s?

Thanks! Shipping is too expensive for me so I might not consider the Garage1217 products. I'm very interested in the Vali though but don't really like the idea of it being microphonic.  Quote:     Has anybody tried the Q701s through the Aune T1 Tube USB DAC? I think it would be the best...

Thanks for the recommendation! I did a little bit of research and do you know the difference between the Bravo Audio V1 and V2? I'm also very interested in the Bravo Audio Ocean.

Hi I'm looking for a relatively inexpensive tube headphone amplifier to pair with the Q701s. Does anybody have any suggestions? I have a budget of about $200. Right now I have no headphone amplifier to drive the Q701s and I feel like they could benefit with a warm sounding amp.

What I don't get is why you can't hear the bass. I personally own the M100s and they're my go-to headphones when listening to EDM/dubstep. I don't find the bass to be lacking at all.   Go buy yourself some cheap $15 headphones and listen to them for a week. Switch back to the M100s then bam...

I might actually try this! 

I managed to buy a brand new Q701 from a dealer on Amazon.com for $231 USD + shipping to Canada. Total costs were $254 CAD. If I were you I'd rather spend the extra $6 and buy the headphones here instead because the shipping will be faster (Mine took about 2 and a half weeks). But I still...

By using an amp that offers bass boost like the Fiio E09K+E17/E07K combo, Would it be better to just EQ the bass rather than doing the bass mod? 

Thanks for the reply. I will look into the amp/dac you suggested!
