    Can someone receommend $100 or less headphones for PC and Portable listening

    Have thought about IEM's as an alternative? If so, I'd recommend the Etymotic's.

    AKG-Q701 Pairings

    I'd also recommend the Vali/Modi combination. I run my Q701's through this combo, and it works great for all my needs!

    AKG K701 / K702 / Q701 - Member's AMP/DAC pairing list

    I run my 701's through a Schiit Modi DAC, and a Schiit Vali tube/hybrid amp.  The Modi is connected to my Mac with a StraightWire USB cable ($15-$20) and then connected to my Vali with StraightWire RCA cables ($15-$20).  I use an aftermarket silver coated, copper, braided cable that I picked up...

    This is my setup, what DAC do i get?

    I'd go with the Schiit Bifrost; it has multiple digital inputs, sounds awesome, and is fully upgradeable. Should work for any purpose you can think of.

    Schiit Owners Unite

    I love my Vali/Modi combo; and if you're looking for more Schiit, I'd go with the Vali.  I just don't think DSD is gonna be a player in the market, so the Loki seems sort of useless.

    Review by 'aleibo39' on item 'Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator In-Ear Earphones (White)'

    I owned these for years; and they, along with a JDS labs CMOY amp and my iPod, were my daily commute set-up.  They offered everything I wanted in a portable rig; great fit, excellent noise reduction, superb and natural sound.  I liked the small size, and the fact that they were barely noticeable...

    Schiit Owners Unite

    I'm currently using the Vali/Modi combo with my AKG's, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome!  I've listened to a friends' Fiio and it also sounded very nice with my AKG's, but I prefer the Vali/Modi combo.

    Just picked up a Schiit Modi + Vali + AKG Q701 + Senn HD598

    I'd go with the Schiit Bifrost; it has optical, and can also have USB for an additional charge.  It should meet all of your cirtieria.

    AKG K701/K702 vs. AKG Q701?

    I don't think it is a question of "better" I think it is a matter of slightly "different."  I prefer the K701's crisper, cleaner sound to the fuller, slightly richer sound of the Q701.  I'll be the first to acknowledge, however, that we are talking about a rather subtle difference. For the me...

    NEW Vali Schiit AMP!!!

    I have both the Vali and it's little friend the Modi; and I have to say they sound awesome together with my AKG K702's.  I had the Vali for about 7-8 weeks before I ordered the Modi, and it sounded great all by itself using a variety of sources (NAD CD player, my MacBook, and even by iPod...
