I don't have q701, but just bought the fiio combo, so just out of curiosity, would pc to e7/e9combo do the job?

Quote: agreed. :) but i'm kinda curious how upper models of grado sound. will definitely try them sometime. hopefully soon, lol.

Quote: lol, so true. I live in dorm, so I was worried about the noise level at first, but my roommate brought semi-big desktop speakers, so he can't complain about my headphone noise. :)

thanks for the reply Kevin! I'm just going to go for whatever I can find that's within my budget. It would be nice if I could get RS-1i, but RS-2i should do the job more than fine.    

whoa gs1000i. way too expensive.  I could consider maybe RS-1i if I saved up 1 to 2 months worth of savings, but gs1000i is way over my head. I really want to stay in grado/alessandro line, but I guess I will also look into Beyers. Thanks

I have penguin caffeine amp that i'm not using right now.  If you wanna buy, PM me :)

Just bought this few days ago! Looking forward to listen to it!!

how about MS-1? I think this one will suit the genres you listen to, and it's practically sr-125 with price of sr-80, so I think it's really a good deal.

Hello.   I'm new to the forum. I've been using MS-1i, but I just got extra budget and wanted an upgrade. I mostly listen to hard rock/metal, but also listen to many other music like blues, k-pop, j-pop. I know that just a pair of headphones can't match all those genres, but considering...
