First time starting a thread here!
I currently can't edit my profile or account so let me fill everyone in. I currently own Ultrasone DJ1's, and do pretty much all of my listening on my Macbook, running Fidelia with FLACs from 16/44.1 and up.
After much lurking on the threads here I have made up my mind that the Pro 900's are the best upgrade for my musical tastes (Amon Tobin/Noisia-esque). I will be running them from a Mac Pro when I return from my current trip abroad, and would like to add an Amp and DAC to the setup. I would say my budget is loosely set in the sub-$300 range. I have no experience listening through Amps, but at this point I have my eye set on Schiit's Magni/Modi stack, partly due to the fact that their products are made in the U.S.A., and seem to have a good warranty.
Any suggestions? I am personally aware of the harsh treble that Ultrasones can produce, and regret to say I may have grown accustomed to them after hundreds of hours on my DJ1's. I definitely don't want to lose any bass (reference previously stated musical tastes).
Also, FYI, I see a future purchase of AKG K702's in the future for listening to my indie/folk collection. Would the Schiit stack serve these headphones well also?
Thanks!
