Headphone for jazz/Pop/speech records

[adammax 0]

Hi guys,

 

I'm looking for a headphone/amp/dac for the setup for jazz/pop/speech records.

 

Currently am thinking of getting AKG 702 + gd amp/dac to bring out its performance.

Am also open to other options.

 

Hope the veterans can share your thoughts.

Combining jazz and pop may be a tad hard, since pop usually has a larger quantity of bass (I think).

 

You're on the right track for the K702, though I would personally go for the K701, since it's cheaper, lots of people sell this second hand, and they're just about the same in sound quality and design.

 

I have had a Zero DAC and K701 combination before, and with a slight low shelf boost at the bass at the 60Hz region, it was one exciting setup. Clarity, depth, superb positioning, immense detail and separation.

Adammax, what's your budget? What source you're using and etc? More info will be easier for us to understand and recommend.

if you don't mind open headphone check ot the Grado RS-1 or GS-1000... but the GS-1000 requires a decent amp....
