Quote: Yeah in this hobby you really don't want to be cheap unless you are deaf of course ... For anyone looking to buy these cans I recommend to save as much as you think you are willing to spend on a good amp and a separate DAC. The Qs def don't sound that great with the bare minimum...- soundlikes

Here is what I enjoy on the Q's: Roots - their recordings are really good especially the "Undun", the Qs pick up on a lot of details and the soundstage is just right Black Keys - since I got the M-stage I've been listening to all their albums before that not so much, it could be that the...- soundlikes

Both the USB and Optical inputs have exactly the same advantage. I am selling the NFB-12, thought it might be better or at least different but it's just...- soundlikes
