Hi!
I want to ask guidance on how to use my K701 professionally. I bought them in 2008 and has used them over thousands of hours. But so far I have been only connecting them to my laptop. I want to know:
1) How to best amplify their ability? What kind of amplifier do I need to choose?
2) Do I need to buy a separate CD player and a DAC? I am using a Thinkpad laptop and there is no dedicated "optical out" available on the computer. I am confused when I browing the forum as I found I need various cables to connect the source to the Amp, and the source usually has two cables. But my computer has only one line out available.
3) What should be my budget? Is a 500$ amp reasonable?
Thank you!
