The Q701 shouldn't be tiring in the highs at all, unless you're used to some veiled sounding headphones. And the mids should be a STRENGTH of the Q701, not just ok. Honestly sounds like your soundcard isn't doing the Q701 any good.
And while I love my NFB5, it does irk me a lot that it doesn't have analog inputs. I somehow MISSED that until after shelling out almost $450 for (shipping was a bitch). It does hurt a bit not having the analog input, if only because I can't test it with the Mixamp. Other than that, the 3 digital inputs are all I need.
I think if you want the pure audio-GD amp with an analog input, you have to look into the C-2 variants. I wanted an amp/dac, which is why I got the NFB5.
