I listen from a Cowon D2, through an iBasso d2 Boa, to Etymotic er4s. The sound that this combo produces is the type of sound that suits my listening preferences. And I listen to everything from acoustic and rock to classical and big band. But... although this has been an extremely satisfying setup, it leaves me wanting to hear just that little bit more.
So, Im wanting to make the next step into higher end equipment. I'll be receiving my new Westone 3's shortly. It shouldn't be too much of a problem listening to them direct from the Cowon. But I'm also wanting to purchase the AKG K701's. I'm pretty sure these are the headphones I want to get first.
I'm thinking about pairing the K701 with the Headamp Pico. In a big headphone I'm looking for a more neutral sound like that of the er4s. The iBasso Boa does tend to liven up the Ety's, but just enough to be a good compliment to the Ety's. Other IEMs I've had are the Q-Jays and Audeo's and the Ety's little bro the er6i. But I still gravitate to the er4s as my favorites. Portability throughout my home is most important and that's why I'm wanting a portable amp to go with the K701's... at least as an interim amp for the time being.
Thanks.
