I see what you mean. My intention was to hear what kind of combinations other people like given my budget ~$1500, I should have been more clear about that. So it's really a question about what you people like, not really what you best think suits my needs. I'm just looking for inspiration. Maybe that's vague too. I don't know. But I figured if somebody like the sound of their k701s with a setup around $1500 that be worth looking into in my own journey. If they like the signature of k701 that person can't be too far off of what I like. Maybe I'm very wrong, tho. May taste isn't as fixed as someone who've been through alot of different setups, so hence I'm open to many different suggestions.

Actually, I browsed back all 15 pages to 2006 and read all threads which seemed relevant. Then I did a couple of searches, and then I decided to post as I wanted some names to continue to read up on. I'm sorry if you think this thread is superfluous. And I did write I read about Corda opera on this board, so why the hostility? There's alot of similiar newbie threads (but with different questions) who've gotten good answers. Therefore I figured it was okay to post.

Hello, first post here! I'm having big problems finding a new amp and dac for my k701s. I was interested in the Corda Opera because it had both an amp and a dac, plus it's sold inside EU wich make it more worthwile (i.e. wont be forced to pay 25% extra at the customs). Alas I read the thread here we you brutaly murdered the corda opera, so what's the alternatives around ~$1500 for and amp/dac or amp + dac? At the moment I only use my k701 but I'm planning on getting another pair of headphones, maybe Grado or something different from AKG. My source is an iMac via optical out, so it'd be good if the DAC had a toslink connection. SS or tube doesn't matter to me. I'd appreciate any suggestion, I'm feeling kind of confused right now! I went from thinking a Woo 6 + keces 131 would be a great setup, to the Meier Corda Opera to where I am now: at square zero! Please help me! Many thanks.
