AKG Q701 with the Darkvoice 336 be a good fit?

Hi all, Would the Darkvoice 336 be a good fit with the AKG Q701? (would the Matrix M-stage be a better fit?) My dac is a Rega (on the dark, analog side) with Kimber PBJ cables. Thanks.

I own a Q701 and La Figaro 336C.

I don't think it is a good match, I think it makes the Q701 sound a bit brighter and lighter.

 

I prefer my Q701 + Matrix M Stage combo.

Buy whichever one you think looks cooler. That will be the better sounding one.

Very funny, m'Lord!

 

The Darkvoice has a rather high output impedance for the Q701s!

Better luck with the Matrix M-Stage or even an inexpensive Fiio E9. Darkvoice matches well with Sennheiser cans apparently.

Had the 336 and the K701.  Not the best match.

Thanks for your input.  I actually just worked out a deal for a Burson HA-160. So, hopefully that will be a good fit for the AKG Q701.
