I did see your post, I even once had that sound card, but I don't know about it's sound quality because I was never into that sort of thing back then, it was just bought for hardware sound processing for games to improve performance. I think I still have it but back in China.
The one I have now is the x-fi extreme audio, after reasons your post I am fairly confident, however I could consider getting a better sound card or just an amp, I'll see for my self when I receive my 701s.
However I just read on a Japanese blog and the guy was saying in you need an amp of at least $250 to $350 to get the most out of your k701. Now I'm confused.
Yes, that's some joke.
Putting a price tag where a power rating should go.
So the Grado amp will power them really well according to that post. It's about $300...but wait it's just a $60Cmoy amp in a wooden box. It's all about the Current an amp will supply OR if it's a high impedance phone the Voltage swing. The 1+ amp pushes about 700mw of power at 32 ohms. the NFB12 pushes about 2Watts, the 1+ is about 150+shipping where as the NFB12 is $200+shipping. Price plays NO roll in sound quality!!!! well not an objective roll.
