Oh wow this was a lot to read! Am still trying to get my head around it all but from the gists that I am able to get, it would seem that yes, while the AK70 seems to be able to drive the AFCs, it can only do so at a much higher volume than I am accustomed to using it at - it's at the 95-105 mark...

Nope I can confirm that I have to pump my AK70's volume up to 130+ for my 6XXs just like I do for the AFCs. Definitely hungry headphones, these two! Yeah like I told you earlier, I have tried bringing the 6XXs to the office which for me is conducive for critical listening - other than the...

Thanks a lot for your reply and insight! Yeah I'm really loving them so far. I bought them for use mostly at the office (home will be my 6XXs) and was thinking the AK70 would be enough to be its source. Its 3.5mm output has 2ohm impedance. Is this why it doesn't drive the AFCs as well, or is it...

Just got my AFCs in from the mail today and I just have to say, wow!!! Granted, these are only my third pair of proper headphones (Momentum 2.0s first, if you count them as 'proper', and HD6XXs second) so I don't have much for comparing, but they sound incredible! However, am surprised that...

Hey thanks for the feedback! When I'm too lazy to bring my whole setup to work I usually just go with my portable option - AK70 to Sennheiser Momentum 2.0s with a balanced cable. I've actually given some serious thought to upgrading my closed-back headphones, and am quite close to settling on...

Now there's a thought! Don't forget the shipping from Schiit to me though, which IIRC was about $50 with FedEx! Decisions, decisions!

Yes! There was a 660S in the shop I spoke of, gave it some of my time but for its price, and the fact I already have the HD6XX, it'd be more of the same no? My head and heart are set on getting Aeon Flow Cs next. They look incredible and I have read little to no negative comments about them. At...

Yeah that's the thing. My current portable setup is an AK70 with Momentum 2.0s - I plan to upgrade these to Aeon FLow Cs sometime in the future. FWIW I've got a carry case that can supposedly fit HD650s in the mail. Anything's better than lugging that big showcase box around. As much as I...

Hey guys, Am about 3 weeks in to my new HD6XXs and am loving them with the Modi2/Magni3 combo that's been championed so much in the HiFi world. For two days last week I brought this setup to work to see if I'd irk or annoy anyone with my music. Surprisingly nobody cared, and that's great for...

My phone is a pretty crappy Lenovo P2 that I bought during a Pokemon Go phase that didn't last very long (Brunei absolutely sucks for the game, weather-wise). I was more than happy to buy an AK70 at the time because I love how it reminded me of the good old iPod days. I am definitely more than...

Hey there wow thanks so much for your detailed replies! It seems everyone on these forums really knows their stuff and knows how to explain everything! Perhaps one of the main reasons I am currently opting for a Mojo is because it's available at the one and only hi-fi shop in my country...

Hi wow thanks so much for your detailed reply! I honestly am quite new to the world of audiophile equipment, and haven't much experience or reference for comparison outside of my AK70 and Momentums. Like I said in the OP everything is more or less still hypothetical/in planning, so I am...

Hi guys, new Head-Fier here! I've just finished buying my home setup - Laptop > Modi 2 > Magni 3 > HD6XX (Still on the way) - and am now looking at putting money aside to improve my current portable rig, which is merely an AK70 (not the MkII, the first one) and wired Sennheiser Momentum 2.0s...
