^ congrats on a good choice !
welcome, these are fantastic headphones. they are even more lush sounding if run from a tube amp. EnjoyGot these new K712's yesterday and I'm amazed at how it makes my AD900x sound hollow, distant and unfocused, like being in a bathroom or listening through a tin can. It's less sibilant and more full-bodied/well-rounded compared to the treble cannon that is the AD900x. I'm also impressed by its technical dexterity in complex music, it's noticeably better than even the Fidelio X2 in this regard, which gives up after a certain point. On the K712 every instrument is distinct and nothing is over- or under-emphasized. Overall it sounds very balanced to my ears with a touch of warmth.
Are there any mini XLR male to 3.5mm female adapters?

I haven't used these. I assume there is a short flexible cable between plugs, 5' maybe too long?
There are lots of places that have this connector combination. check at Moon Audio
Can anyone recommend to me a good amp and DAC for AKG k712's?
I've done extensive searching around the internet and I am a complete noobie when
it comes to audio stuff.
I just recently bought the akg k712 (it's coming in this tuesday) and I have no idea what amp and DAC to buy
I have heard numerous people say the asgard 2, valhalla 2, or heed canamp.
I read that asgard 2 is more smooth sounding (I have no idea what that means)
and I read that the heed canamp is the best for AKG k701's, but will it also be the "best" for AKG 712's?
Sorry I am a complete noobie and don't know most of the stuff that im reading about.
I will use the headphones mostly for gaming (CS:GO in particular)
and also some light music listening like OST's or something while I'm studying.
And what is the difference between an expensive amp ($300) and an inexpensive amp (say a $1000 amp)? Will there be a clear difference?
Sorry I meant mini XLR female to 3.5mm female, no cable just adapter. I searched but couldn't find any. I would like to use my BoomPro mic with the K712.
Not sure if you're still looking, but a search on eBay turned up the following:
Adapter with cable:
Mini Female Male 3-Pin XLR to 3.5mm 1/8" Female Adaptor adapter 1ft to 6ft tiny
Just the adapter:
Mini 3 Pin XLR Female TA3 to 3.5mm Jack Socket Adapter TA3F Tiny Headphones AKG
But the prices
