Just a heads up that I tested my Note 3 with a Yulong D100 and it works perfect.  Detects it as 96khz though.  Would rather it output 44.1khz and let the DAC do all the upsampling to be honest

Hey guys. Just wanting to discuss and gather opinions on using different ear bud tips to alter the sound signature of your earphones. In my previous experience, I find that out of a set of 3 different sized silicone tips that the largest appears to give me the best bass performance and that the...

So can anyone tell me the difference between the K701, Q701 and K702?   http://graphs.headphone.com/graphCompare.php?graphType=0&graphID[]=703&graphID[]=2621&graphID[]=2931   As far as I can tell, the Q701 is simply a rebranded K702 right?  I understand why the K702 has a different...

Thanks for the info project86.  I ended up ordering it.  Can't wait.   Any suggestions for phono cable?  I don't have any decent ones at all, and I don't want the sound quality to be impaired.  May I ask what you used in your tests?

Just a few questions if I may.   I'm trying to quantify the quality gain with the A100 over the D100's own amp.  I know it's hard to put it into words accurately, so I want to ask if the quality gain from D100 to A100 is more noticable than the change in sound quality using the different...

Thanks for the quick response Project86, I think I'll be adding this to my "buy it soon" list.

Great review man.   You made the comment that the improvement of the A100 over the D100's own amp varied depending on which headphones you used.  For example the SR325 showed a marginal improvement but the RS1 and P1000 benefitted more.  How do you feel the K702 faired with the A100.  Was...

I'm totally loving the D100 right now with the K701.  It's almost perfect.  The only thing I could wish for would be a tad extra bass maybe, but then again part of that is down to the open back design, so I can't complain much.   All this talk about amps has got me hungry for upgrading...

Just a thought about input rates.  Manual suggests to use 96khz in the OS.  If I'm understanding this correctly, the source would be 44.1KHz, which would be resampled to 96KHz, before it's sent to the DAC which resamples it again.   Wouldn't it be better to just select 44.1KHz in the OS so...

Thanks man.  Any other device I'd have done it without a second thought, but I was just being mega paranoid :)   Final, final question.  Is it safe to use both of the headphone outputs simultaneously, or do you risk potential damage to the D100 and/or headphones?

I just got my D100 today.  Excellent.  My volume dial also made a very slight noise towards 100% (which I'd never have found under normal use because it's so loud), so I did as project86 suggested and edged it forward a little bit.  Absolutely perfect now.   As for the people saying about...

Cool thanks guys.  How did your stuff arrive, in good condition?  I bought mine through a German reseller on Amazon and to be honest it looked like they had been sat in a warehouse for over a year.  Box was very dusty and a bit torn/damaged.   I know it's just the box and whatever, but I get...

Hey guys. Does anyone know a good place online to get a pair of K701 that ships to the UK?  I can't seem to find them at any of the places I'd usually try.  I did get my first pair from Amazon through a reseller, but when they arrived the box was in poor condition and I suspected signs of...

Thanks for the reassurance, I think I'll order the D100.

Thanks, now for a question I think I know the answer to, but I'd like some confirmation.  Let's say for arguments sake that if the max the K701 can handle is 50% of the Yulong for a normal source, for the few quiet sources that would require 60%+ for example, would turning them up to that level...

I have just a couple of additional questions.  What is the difference between the two headphone jacks?  I understand they are for low and high impendance headphones, but what do they consider low and high, and which should I use for the K701.   Finally, how can I find out where on the volume...

Hey guys.  On the lookout for an amp/DAC too and I thought that seeing as you guys have more experience with the 701s than me, that maybe you can help me out.  I really wanted to get an M-Stage but I couldn't find a DAC to go with it.  My choices were the Mavrick D1 (which I thought might be a...

Thanks for your time man, I feel as things are a little clearer for me now.  It's kind of hard to make an informed decision at the moment having not owned any DACs or amps previously.  What you said is pretty much what I was looking for, that you could get most of the K701's performance out of...

Hi guys.  Just wondering if you could spare a few minutes to give me some sort of direction.  I want to get a USB DAC and a headphone amp, but I've come up with a few options and just wanted to get some input.  I'll be using AKG K701.   Basically after having read project86's great review of...

Hi guys.  Long story short, I'm finding my way into high(er) end audio.  I recently treated myself to some AKG K701 and I love them.  I had been advised from the start when I was looking into these that I would need a decent headphone amp.  After some reading I decided that the Matrix M-Stage is...

Sorry, I should have explained.  I need both a DAC and an amp (DAC because my soundcard sucks).  I'd be using the mini for it's DAC and the M-Stage as the amp.  I gather you can't go wrong with the M-Stage and that it's practically on par with the Lehmann linear, so it sounds like a safe bet. ...

Been giving it some thought and so far I've arrived at: Matrix M-Stage Matrix Mini i DAC   Any comments regarding this combination, or is there anything that could be swapped out for a better fit?  As I mentioned earlier, I'd appreciate a little extra treble or bass too.

Oh by the way guys, I wanted to ask something.  The arches (two bits above your head) on mine are (quite cheap feeling) plastic.  Is this right?  I was under the impression that they were supposed to be metal.  Could these be otherwise convincing fakes?

Thanks for the info so far guys.  When looking for an amp/DAC, how important is SNR?  I noticed on the Canamp that it's SNR is 85db which is actually lower than the SNR on my laptop's onboard audio.  The K701 are rated at 105db, so presumably I wouldn't feel any benefit above 105db?   Anyone...

Hi guys. Let me start off by saying that I am a little green when it comes to things like amps and DACs, so I wanted to post here to get a more general idea of things.   First up, I'll be wanting to burn these in.  One really good review I read said he noticed improvements as much as 450...
