Hello all!

Ive been reading this forums for a week now. I am about to buy my first amp + headphones.

I already have a DacMagic connected to my laptop and a pair of D'feldt audioengine 5 speakers.
I have decided that I'm going to start with a pair of 701´s. I live in Denmark and the 701´s are in my price rage. Found a shop that sells the 701 for 222 EUR. The same shop also sells LAKE PEOPLE G100 PHONEAMP for 399 EUR.

I guess the wisest thing would be to wait and find a used headphone amp. But i like the studio equipment look of the G100. Ill use unbalanced signal cables between the dac and amp for now. but I'm really curious if balanced cables between dac and amp makes any difference.

What do you guys with experience think of this set-up?

Laptop -> usb cable -> DacMagic -> RCA cable -> G100 -> AKG-701

Should I get the G100?
If not, what do you suggest I buy instead?

Any thought on this is much appreciated.
