OK, thanks for the swiftt reply. But how can you be so sure when you're not sure about the mods? (no challenge, just curious) The lite version comes with the D7K cable.

Hi, I'm a total noob in head-fi and I need some help! I'm thinking of getting a pair of k702's and I understand I need an amp. At first the EF2 seemed like a good choice, since I would like an usb dac as well, but it seems it lacks the power needed to drive the 702's. I considered getting a...
