I would get a nice budget USB DAC such as the EMU 0404 DAC, great bang for the buck, although I think most DACs above $150 pretty much sound the same lol

Why don't you use the native Creative ASIO?

Doesn't the K701 already have a good copper cable, like 99.99% pure?

I do not own any other pairs of headphones besides the DT880, although I bought some K701's, but they have not arrived yet. I bought mine for $250 new and I thought that was a good deal. $150 is an excellent price though. The DT880 is very accurate, nice detail, powerful bass. They really do...

Will a upgraded millet max work well with a AKG K701? I'm thinking it will since the MAX seems like a powerful amp that will drive the 701's well. Does anyone have this combo?
