Big thanks to Tom for his assistance with my AKG K701 question.

I performed the MLC5/6 mod and stuck a 4562 opamp into the headphone socket. This is a great combination with the 701s and really makes them sing. I have also experimented with different opamps in the lineout socket as I understand that this has an impact on the headphone sound too - have eventually settled on the THS4032 because it seemed to add a little extra to the low end grunt.

Very happy. Not intending to change this combo.

I have not done any mods to either DAC yet apart from changing opamps.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
