Hi friends,
Recently I've been doing a lot of research looking for my first pair of nice cans, I've only own iPod headphones up until now. Up until now I've been completely sold on ATH-M50s, but now I'm starting to second guess that purchase. I'm going to be purchasing a uDac-2 to convert and drive these cans and I've realized I that the uDac-2 can actually power something bigger than the ATH-M50. I've always heard really good things about AKG's what model of AKG would you reccomend? I'm looking to spend up to $300 on just the cans so I feel like there maybe something in AKG's collection that would be better suited for my listening tastes. I enjoy all types of music, the only kind I don't listen to is country and classical. But everything else (mostly indie) is in my collection. I have already purchased a uDac-2 so its important that the cans I buy can be driven by that (without seperate amp!) Any suggestions?
 
Thanks!

I have read that the U-dac can drive properly the AKG K240 MKII. 
Im not sure about the K701/702's.
