Hi, I`ve been looking at portable amps for my q701 and want some oppinions from you guys. I am now mostly leaning towards the Headstage Arrow 12HE 4G.
It sais it will handle headsets and soundsystems up to 600 ohms, and since the akg website states that the headsets imput impendance is 62 ohms I figured they would work. (Im not sure if 11 volts from the amp is enough though, need some help here)
In addition im planning on buying an USB DAC cable from the same company for the amp so i can use the same amp for my computer for the time being.
Basically what i want to know is this:
Specification sheet - Q 701 (English)

Basically what i want to know is this:
- Will the amp be strong enough for my headset, please explain
- Is this amp a good match for the headset?
- Is the USB DAC from Headphonia any good? (planning on using it for a macbook)
