    AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition

    How long have you been using your K702?  I've heard that it doesn't "warm up" (although I'm not 100% positive what that means..I'm just assuming that everything smoothes out and doesn't sound as tinny or whatever) until it's been used for 300+ hours; is that what you are experiencing, or are you...

    Best Sound Card/Amp for AKG K702 - Gaming & Music

    Ahhh..I must have missed the other power outputs lol.  Thanks for the quick response :)  Do you believe that the Xonar DX + Magni combo would be better than the Sound Blaster Zx then?  And if so, would you mind explaining in what way (since I'm trying to understand the differences lol)?  Thanks...

    Best Sound Card/Amp for AKG K702 - Gaming & Music

    No worries; I was just joking lol.  Thanks for the tip :)   I'll look into the Asus Xonar DX; does it require the Schiit Magni to work?  I don't know if I need more than the Sound Blaster Zx, but I guess I am more interested in finding out if it would work well with the K702..or if there is...

    Best Sound Card/Amp for AKG K702 - Gaming & Music

        I'll check it out, but I have to admit that it's a bit sketchy that you posted twice..and every single post you have made since registering is promoting it lol.  Either way, I'll give it a look; thanks for the help :)   Brendan "NinjaNife" West

    AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition

    I have a quick question; I just bought the non-Anniversary Edition K702, and was wondering what the best method of driving it currently is (for a $150 budget).  I mainly will be using it for PC gaming (FPS mostly) and listening to music (epica, rock, dubstep and other electronic music), and so...

    Best Sound Card/Amp for AKG K702 - Gaming & Music

    I would prefer to keep the budget under $150, which should easily get me the Sound Blaster Zx, or something hopefully better for my situation.   Alright, I'll give that thread a shot.  I wasn't sure if it would be the for the Anniversary Edition K702's, since the sound is a bit different...

    Best Sound Card/Amp for AKG K702 - Gaming & Music

    I am relatively new to the high-end audio stuff (although I've been reading stuff on here for a while), and was wondering what the best sound card or amp would be for an AKG K702.  I was looking at the Sound Blaster Z card, but then read that the K702 might still need an amp in order to really...

    Quote: This is the drive I used:   http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148610   It does need to be formatted to FAT32 before it will work (at least in my case), but that is pretty simple to do.  I just got an adapter that converted it from mSATA to SATA, and...

    Well, an update on my end; I just got the new adapter that I needed to format the iPod, and I have some mixed results.  My 5G (it might be 5.5G..not really sure lol) iPod works perfectly with the mSATA SSD, except for the buttons (the logic board has some issues..so all I can do is see if it...

    Official Ipod Video / Classic 5g+5.5g+6g+6.5g+7g SSD Mod thread

    Just an update on my end; the SATA adapter arrived last week but unfortunately it doesn't fit the SSD I have..  For some reason, it is the correct size, but the little piece that fits in the SSD's notch (in the connector) is too wide and doesn't let the SSD slide on.  So I'll have to order the...

    Quote: I actually have already received them, and so far it isn't working :/  I'm waiting on another adapter so I can pre-format the SSD to Fat32, just in case the iPod isn't able to recognize the stock format on the SSD.  The adapter should arrive on Monday or Tuesday, so I'll give you an...

    Quote: I'm very curious to see if this would work on a 5.5G iPod; if I do end up failing my tests, do you happen to have a 5.5G iPod available for testing if I were to ship the adapters and SSD to you?   Brendan "NinjaNife" West

    Quote: Ohhh..yeah I totally missed that one lmao xD  My apologies.  I don't think I have an IDE cable with me anyway (I'm currently away from home for a few months for work), so I think I'll get a ZIF-to-SATA adapter instead.  Here is one I am looking at:  ...
