AKG Q701 Audiophile Headphones
You want a warmer amp generally to pair well, which often means tubes. Schiit Vali and Little Dot Mk I+ are two of the most recommended starter amps I've seen on Head-fi. If you step up in price a bit, the Matrix M-stage is awesome as well as the Audio-GD NFB-15 (I can recommend both from experience). The Audio-GD also has a fantastic DAC built-in. I assume any of the cheap tube amps that keep popping up on here would do well (Bravo...

Massdrop 101: What Is A DAC?
With millions of songs at our fingertips every minute of every day, it’s easy not to think about where our music comes from—and how exactly it gets to us. The truth is that whenever we play a song on our computer, MP3 player, tablet, or any o...

Massdrop x Fostex TR-X00 Mahogany Headphones
I wish I could give you better info... Before I got the Aune T1 I was just using the Matrix M-Stage amp/dac (1st version I believe) and I really liked it but it wasn't anything mind blowing. The Aune T1 definitely, to my ears, colors the sound a bit more as it's warmer and more full sounding (also a lot smaller) the tube DAC part does most of the work soundwise anyway. Unfortunately since I have yet to own a true tube amp or something close to...

Massdrop x AKG K7XX Audiophile Headphones
i do not think they come with the needed wires but i could be wrong, and the schiit stack is good because its really good at that price point, if you get the uber versions you might as well get something better at the new price point. I literally just joined this drop 5 min a go https://www.massdrop.com/buy/matrix-mstage-amp-dac I read some reviews about this amp on head-fi and the top review said that this amp/dac paires really nicely with...

Massdrop x AKG K7XX Audiophile Headphones
I am glad to have picked these up, they are my first open-back pair of headphones. I only own a pair of Ultrasone HFI 780's and use an xduoo ta-01 dac/amp > matrix m stage 2 amp > ultrasone hfi 780's. I currently only use the xduoo as a DAC and have it powered off, to my understanding the stock tube is quite poor and I'd need to buy a better 12au7 tube for it to be worthy. Is it worth looking into using the xduoo as a preamp as well as a dac?...

Matrix Quattro II DAC/Amp
Did you mean TA-01 or perhaps TA-10 ? I don't own the Matrix dac/amp but I can categorically say that the TA-01 (which I do own) is not intended to be in the same league as the Matrix. The TA-01 uses the CS-4398 dac chips, only supports USB or RCA Line-In input, no balanced input or output, uses a tube in the amp portion, doesn't support firmware upgrade, etc. But, for $119 the TA-01 is a good deal within its class... just as the $449 for...

If you have a MAC, you don't need a DAC
If your music library is coming out of a MacBook Pro, the internal DAC is already extremely good. Adding a dedicated DAC will not yield meaningful improvement. Thoughts? Discuss.
