Thanks for the replies. These are super helpful :-)

HI, I'm thinking of buying a pair of Shure SE425 to use with the player. Does anyone have experience with these? And has anyone switched to a balanced cable as well? (Looking for recommendations). Thanks in advance /M

Tried hvis player together with my PX headphones today. Sounds great and no noticeable noise or interference like with the Onkyo. So will likely get myself one of these players after Christmas. Thanks for the advice and insight you've provided! /M

Has anyone used this player with B&W PX headphones (cabled)? I bought an Onkyo DP-X1a a couple of weeks ago but returned it because there was a lot of background noise/interference so now thinking of buying the AK70 MKII instead. Help is much appreciated :) /M
