I like to listen to hip hop, rap, trance, dubstep, and a little bit of classical if that helps.

I wanna keep it under $150. I would like tigher and maybe deeper bass. I like nice and controlled bass. Other than that I don't have anything too specific with what I want. I just want the amp to properly power dt990/600 so that I get the best I can out of them.

m stage

can the m stage drive hd600/hd650's properly? I've heard the hd600/650 benefit more from a tube amp, is that true?

I haven't officially bought anything yet. i don't have an amp/dac/ or headphones. Right now I am just researching.   I mainly listen to hip hop, rap , electronica, techno, dubstep, and classical. Sometimes I will listen to other genres but these are the genres I mainly listen to   I have...

but, aren't they wireless? I would prefer wired

Quote: looks really good! problem is that I know you could mod hd555's and save a bunch of money. I was also looking for something a little "better" because my budget allows me to do so

Thank you.   I have a budget of $500-600 for the whole setup. I can not afford more than that.     I don't have a specific budget for headphones or any other equiptment. I just want my setup to sound the best that it can.

How much does it cost to power this headphone so that you get ideal sound?

Looking for a dac that is around $100 to power the above setup. I wanna jizz in my pants, make me happy guys (no homo)

thank you. one more question. Is there a dac that will suit that setup better in the same price range?   My other sources tell me the mk III and a $100ish dac will not be anywhere close to the sound that would be ideal with hd 650's

I've been reading up on headphones/amp/dac the WHOLE DAY!!! I spent a WHOLE DAY reading up. I now have some very basic knowledge and I was wondering if someone could give me a yes or no response (assholes go away). Is an HD650/mkIII amp/ zero dac an awsome setup for someone that is upgrading...

IDK. I was doing some searching of my own and I read that it is better to have a separate dac and amp. I have a budget of $500ish so I am having second thoughts whether or not getting HD650's is a good decision Quote:

thank you guys! you are so helpful!!!   I might have been a little unclear, but I meant DAC and amp not likt a dac/amp combo. sorry

can someone please take 5 seconds of their time and at least give a generic response.   This forum is so SLOW!!!

How much does a good dac/amp combo usually run for if you were using HD650's?   I don't have a sound card so I am guessing I would need a very good DAC

I was thinking more of HD600/650's

for an HD650 I would have a maximum budget of about $150 for an amp/dac

True. My only concern with the HD600/650 is that I will have to sacrifice the price of the amp if I get the 650s. I would say a maximum of $150 for an amp/dac

Also, is a dac and dedicated sound card necessary to power these bad boys?

I've got about $200 ish for just headphones. In total i have about $450 saved up, but I need to buy an amp/dac and maybe a sound card because I am running on board audio

does it usually take so long to take a reply on this forum?

forever no reply

Can anyone help?
