JDS Labs Element
I just recently received my Element. I've paired it with the HiFiman 400i's. At first I was a little disappointed...UNTIL I read the damn manual. Boy does this impress a novice! I had a Micca Origen+ it was nice, but I couldn't get over the driver issues in Windows 10. The power this amp/dac...- Alpha Mike

STAX SR-009 or wait for the Audeze LCD-3
Stax SR-009 I heard both at the OC meet recently and there was nothing there that sounded better. For me, it's my end all be all for headphones.- Alpha Mike

You guys think there is a chance to buy a K702 cheaper price than now on black friday?
Why not get the Q701's? They sound the same "to me", and for some reason there cheaper.- Alpha Mike

Portable Amp For AKG 702s?
At the OC meet, I used my AKG Q701's (really the same headphones) and the Fiio 10 (under $100) was a very good and warm portable. I has bass boost which helps with the low's and can actually power the K's and Q's.- Alpha Mike
