Hi, I have read many threads in this forum to choose my new setup but now I'm more confuse than before.
 
I arrived at these chooices considering my budget (500 - 700 €) :
 
AKG Q701 + Matrix M-stage
 
or
 
Beyerdynamic DT880 600 Ohm + Schiit Valhalla (here i also need a DAC?)
 
 
Whitch of these 2 combo is better for me?
 
I will use the Headphone also to listening all other genres of music and I don't want a colorate sound, but only a linear frequency response with clear bass and good soundstage (I hate my Sennheiser HD 25 I)
 
If you have other opinions, they are welcome.
Thanks

Edit: Oh, no, not at all. I started writing something, accidentally posted it, decided I didn't really have anything valuable to say, tried to delete it, couldn't.

Do you have a decent DAC? I assume you're producing and listening using a PC, so I'd advise a DAC, as if you are just using onboard sound it will be quite poor. A better DAC would feed a better signal to the amp. You can find decent DAC/Amp combos.
