Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

 

Cheers from Germany

I'm getting very enjoyable results by driving my AKG 701's with the Little Dot MKIII........I always end up listening far longer than I intended.

You should clarify if you already have a DAC or if you will be needing one.

 I already own a Siltec Sphinx Project Three DAC (handmade in Holland), but why is that important? Mostly I listen to vinyl.smile.gif

For a mid-level amp - the Matrix M-Stage was a great match - I owned the k701s for a while - I enjoyed it the most with the k701s and it should save you some $$$$.
