I use the K702 for production, mixing, and mastering...but the Baby face build in hps amp in not enough to drive the 702's ( I just tested this combo a month ago ). You can start with this configuration but eventually you'll need to invest around $200 for a nice used hps amp.

Thanx for the info ACIX, which hps amp would you recomend?

Headphone Amp is connecting through the outputs of the soundcard right?

I would go with the K702 as well. For a neutral amp, I've heard B22s are quite neutral but they're on the expensive side.

K702 + SPL Phonitor, the crossfeed and speaker angle

settings can recreate speaker placements.

 

You may also wish to consider their entry level

product for mixing - 2Control with dual headphone outs

 

Phonitor is below

Use your babyface connector to hook up the XLR plugs to

the input.
