I tried this one with my old QP1R and i kinda like it. Now i have some question before i buy it. Does it need an amp to drive ? I saw audioquest released 2 new model. So this one vs nightowl carbon vs nighthawk carbon which one is better ?
I strongly recommend an amp - not only with the Nighthawks but in general. I use my portable amp at all times, whether listening to the 'hawks or a pair of IEMS (currently loving the LZ A4s) Certainly for the Nighthawks, an amp will bring out the best in them. My recommendation for portable is the Cayin C5 although there are a fair few to choose from and I have only heard a couple of others.
