I'm looking through the FS/FT forum and there is a magni/modi combo FS. Do you guys think a external DAC would be worth the money? over my current setup?

were your akgs running through a amp?   i wish there were some test show rooms in ny/nj area... I wouldn't mind dropping $1000 if I could see and hear the cans quality in person...

My gripes with the A900s: I completely rebuilt my current a900 once. New pads, new wires, housing. and now the plastic housing is falling apart...again... the pleather pads flake and flatten over time placing my ears closer to the drivers... It's time to to move on...   I'd prefer to stay...
