I recently bought a pair of K702s with a cable upgrade for $250 and am loving them but I've been reluctant to plug them into my Schiit Valhalla before I did some research (hopefully I'll get some answers here).
I understand that the K702 is quite power hungry although at only 62ohms but from research I've also gathered that power hungry comes in the form of high impedance as well as something needing a lot of current (No idea what I'm talking about). From what I understand, the K702 belong in the latter category.
I've tried searching for records of people using the combo and have only come up with two comments about the combo being good so I wanted to get some expert advice before I plug them in and blow something up. I know it's unlikely but one can never be too careful.
Am I going to get a giant change in sound for the K702?
Also, I'm looking to get a pair of Fostex T50RP because there's just so many excellent reviews for them at their price (Someone tell me where I can actually get them for $70 cause I've heard that's the lowest price around) and would like comparison to either the Beyer DT 880 or the K702 so I can have a point of reference. I've read reviews but they can only take me so far.
Lastly, is the Schiit Valhalla going to be enough to power the K702 and or the T50RP?
