Oh man, looks like I got more thinking to do then and should cancel my THD and Q701 amazon order
From what I'm gathering here, I have two options to do this right...
- THD + external amp + Q701
For this, I may be able to use my MixAmp that I already own OR I'll want to get another external amp which will cost me a good $100-200?
- ST/STX + Q701
Of course, my other option here is to consider a headphone other than the Q701 that is less, high maintanance
Or, I let amazon deliver it to me and I see how it is. Alternatively, I can order the 598s as well (which i think don't need an external amp to drive?) to use to compare: Does the Q701 sound good semi-driven, compared to the 598?
If I do end up compromising by not fully driving the Q701, what would I be losing along the way? Volume of course. What about SQ?
