Okay, thanks for the input.

Make that K702.

I am using a pair of AKG K702's.

I am using AKG A702's. Was thinking of getting a new cord for these.

CD player is a NAD C515BEE.

Hello, I like to listen to my headphones directly from my CD player, using a headphone amp, connected by RCA cables. I would like to upgrade, using an optical cable from my player to a DAC. then connect the DAC to the headphone amp. Does this sound like a good setup? I am a little confused...

I hope someone can give me some advice. I own a pair of AKG 702's and am really enjoying the sound. I don't have a lot of dough to throw around, but am satisfied with the results using a NAD c515bee CD player, with a Firestone Cute Beyond headphone amp. I have replaced the Op amps with OPA...

Thanks for the replies. I guess, in the case of the laptop, through the USB with a DAC is better than out of the soundcard. In the case of the CD player, what is the most important feature that can make one player superior to another?

A question. Which is the better source of headphone music? An average CD player, or mp3 through my laptop? Thanks

Hey, I'd like to run 10-12 ft of RCA Audio cable from my receiver to my headphone amp. I see lots of good prices on Monster Cable on eBay, but am confused by the different types. Any suggestions? Thanks
