Seven days left (at the time of this post) of the Massdrop AKG K7XX Limited Edition.  I got mine two days ago and I can't tell the difference between them and my K712.  No kidding.  Uhhh...  well, except for the K7XX being half the price and being all ninja black  :ph34r: 

So good I'm thinking about snagging another pair just to keep as spares.

System: i5 6600K@3.6 GHz, Gigabyte Z170XP SLI, 2x8 Corsair DDR 3000, Corsair Hydro H60i cooler, Rosewill CAPSTONE 750w Gold PSU, 1x 512GB SSD, 1x 2TB 7200RPM, Windows 10 Pro x64
Display: XFX R9 390 DD, triple 1920x1200 24" HP monitors (5760x1200 @ 60Hz)   Sound: Audio-gd NFB-11 -> AKG K7XX or 2.1 speaker system

So I ordered the AKG K7XX off Massdrop but now which amp should I get? I'm on a budget and deciding between the Schiit Fulla and E10K.

24 fps for that "cinematic" feel


After a couple weeks of behavioral sciences at my school I can easily conclude my parents need to grow up.

Try them from onboard audio first.

I'll try onboard, but in general which is better? Schiit Fulla or E10K?

Probably the Fulla - E10K is reported to be worse than the E10.

I tried the k7xx with a few amps and through some council I ended up with the g103 from lake people. Works really, really well with this headphone, which already performs good on e.g ipad air 2.

If you got the money one day I would head this diretion, the g109, which is roughly double the price, will give you more defined low frequencies according to the web.

If one does not fail at times, then one has not challenged himself.

Umm.... that's like $300, I meant amps under $100...

Well then I would rly save those 100usd, because your onboard will do it just fine.

What a concept. What a completely original thought that no one here has thought of before. Wow, what a time to live in.
