Slightly inebriated purchase.

After having one to many sherbets yesterday I went and ordered a Schiit Asgard headphone amp for my AKG 701's
I hope it turns out to be a good decision.

That's one pissed decision that I'm sure you won't regret.

I myself did similar and ended up with a CEntrance DACport and it's bloody great!

Well it has just arrived, build quality looks excellent.
I may get the chance to give it a whirl later but work beckons shortly
Its cost approx £196 +£42 taxes/fees

My mate woke up one morning after an all day session with a receipt (and bill )

for a £950 engagement ring and no idea who he gave it to .

That would have to hurt.

Well I have a couple of hours listening on the clock now and I am more than pleased with the results, at last I am hearing what the AKG 701's can really sound like.
I was on the verge of giving up on the 701's due to their apparent lack of bass with my previous setup(ibasso D1) but the arrival of the Asgard has changed that, they now have glorious, powerful, textured bass with plenty of detail in the highs without any sense of fatigue.
The combo does not take any prisoners though, if its a shit recording it will sound shit, no glossing over of dodgy poorly produced tracks here.
So I am one happy bunny and can highly recommend the Asgard/701 combo to anyone looking for a decent headphone setup.
