The GR07's are an absolute steal right now on lendmeurears.com at about $130 USD. I got my BE during the closeout sale and I've fallen in love with them. For that price, I'd get a pair now and if down the road you're yearning for more, maybe pull the trigger on the updated Vsonic line.   

For sure. There is a bit of channel imbalance lower in the pot as I'm sure you're aware but I'm able to just nudge it past that point and a little bit further and it sounds great. It's what I would consider a "normal" volume for me, for some it may be slightly loud, nothing damaging however. I...

I just got these about a week ago and have probably 70-80 hours of burn in (have been leaving them overnight with pink-noise every so often) and they just continue to impress me. I purchased a Schiit M&M stack mainly for use with my Grado 325is' but these appear to pair absolutely beautifully...

Is it weird that I'm almost beginning to prefer these to full size cans? 

Awesome, so I can continue to EQ and enjoy the benefit of the DAC at the same time. I'm very happy with this stack (my first). Everything is sounding great! 

Good idea. Doing this yielded (at least as far as my ears can tell) an identical result. I guess it can be assumed that the Modi is in fact the DAC and that it isn't being bypassed?

The FedEx guy just dropped off my Schiit. I've got it hooked up and running, so far everything appears to be working great! There's just a small detail that's confusing me. I use a program on OS X called Boom for my EQing needs and with the Modi hooked up, my audio outputs look like this:  ...

Absolutely, it sounds like we're one in the same! The Schiit aesthetics are what hooked me. Especially considering my MBP is also metallic, I couldn't pass up the look. The cables I ordered will be a little long, but tucked at my desk at school I don't think I'll notice them. I, like you, do...

Awesome. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on those and the M&M's. Going to use this to power some Grado 325is's and the occasional odd listen of the ATH M50's or my GR07 BE's. Maybe my wallet can rest for a bit. Wishful thinking I'm sure.... *The issue I have with the ones you posted is...

Hey guys, just confirming that I need one of these:   http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021814&p_id=5346&seq=1&format=2   and one of these http://www.monoprice.com/Product/?c_id=103&cp_id=10303&cs_id=1030301&p_id=5437&seq=1&format=1#largeimage  ...

Sounds good. Thanks for the help, this is sort of the way I was leaning. Repped. 

Thanks for the help. Really the purpose of the amp and DAC I'm considering would be to amp the Grado's as I don't foresee myself using the M50's at the same capacity I used to. Would this amp DAC combo do justice for the Grado's or are there better options out there?

Hey all,   I apologize for what I'm sure is a frequently asked question but my endless searching hasn't turned up anything relating to my case specifically. My audiophile journey began about a year ago with the purchase of a pair of ATH M50's. It has since grown to also include a pair of...
