I use a Sherwood RX4109 to drive my k702s. It has a warm, vintage tone and drives them very well. I've tried actual, dedicated headphone amps, but I always find myself going back to this.
<0.4% distortion, 98dB SNR, 20hz-100khz frequency response, and a built in equalizer all for less than $100. A sure buy if you're on a budget. It gets generally mediocre or bad reviews because the speaker output isn't all that great. The headphone pre-amp is a separate construction, so it is never, ever included in reviews for this system. It does have a slight hiss, which will be anywhere from obvious to absent, depending on the efficiency of your headphones. With the k702, it isn't even there.
They're about to stop making it. You should buy it now before it becomes actually vintage and not just vintage in spirit.
