That's one thing you will notice about setups that are more "analytical" featuring headphones like the K701/2. They sound great on classical, jazz, and other acoustic music, but sound a bit stiff or sterile with electronic, rock, etc. But using an EQ should help fix that a bit, as I see you have already begun to do. Congrats on the setup.

Hi I just got the audio gd c2c upgraded ver. & a pair of k702s too but dont have a dac. I was wondering how imparative the Audio-GD DAC19Mk3 would be for the audio quality? Im new at hifi gear & am unsure whether the dac would be a worthwile investment. My main source will be a pc & a samsung audio receiver. Any suggestions or comments will be welcome. ty.

Welcome to the world of hifi. Just be warned, it is a sickness...

I would definitely consider getting a decent DAC for your setup. The K702+C2C combination is supposed to be great, and I think you are leaving a ton of the table by not having a better source. I'd hate to really limit your nice setup by not feeding them a quality source.

Thx horio. I think I got the sickness bad. I cant believe that I was driving my hd600 before without an headamp & was happy with the sound. I guess you really dont know how good hifi is unless you have actually tried it. I think im gonna like my k702 upgrade(sidegrade) from hd600 after its properly burned in. Meanwhile Im contemplating purchasing the DAC19MK3 as mentioned by the original poster or perhaps an DA220 MkII. Ill research & get working on the source after I have my dac

. Cheers.

Did you get the old C2C version or the new version that just came out? The new version is designed to work well with the new DAC19, connected via ACSS.

I have got my setup almost complete now as you can see on my attached picture. The thing is my ears are probably not suitable for "audiophile" world. I can hear the diference in comparison with the KPP I had in the past but it is VERY HARD to hear any diference (for example) with/without M2Tech USB/SPDIF convertor.

Maybe I just need to train my ears a bit. Know what to focus on. I dont know.

I have an old updraded C2C amp. Just visited Audio GD site and there are some new and interesting products listed there. It is really hard to keep pace with Mr. Kingwa. It is kinda like PC business, as soon as you buy new PC there is already a new and better one just around the corner.
