Hello Headfiers,
I recently acquired a pair of AKG Q701s, and while I primarily intend to use them with my Roland RD-700nx Keyboard for late night practicing, I also would like to use them to listen to my extensive collection of high quality recordings. (FLAC) Since the 3.5mm headphone out on my laptop does a pitiful job of trying to power these new cans, I find myself looking for a USB Amp/DAC that will do them justice. (for a reasonable price)
While I am new to the head-fi/audiophile community, I have spent the last 15 years of my life developing my ears as a classically trained musician. I prefer my audio to be transparent, clear, honest, and uncolored, and want an Amp/DAC that will reproduce my music in this fashion. (If I play a bad recording through my rig, It better sound god awful
What are my options?
