I get the Ps audio gcha amp along with AKG K701 today. From an old post i heard that they are good combo, but actually i find the highs is not smooth as i expect. It's bass light, I like it, but not the kind with high quality, deep punch.
Overall, i like the timbre of K701, it reveals the details and has good soundstage.
As i connect my macbook to GCHA via usb as source, this may be the reason for that. So is there any good budget external DAC or CDP that can fully feed the K701? If they are the same $, which provides a better sound?
PS: K701 just runs for hours, should i expect a big improvement after 100+ hours run-in?
Thanks.
