I used the Cayin + Fiio mix to drive my DT 770s, which was a really good set up. The Fiio could just about drive the 770s (better, in terms of power, than the LGv30), but the Cayin added something special. The 770s have great low bass, but the mid-bass drops off a bit - indeed, much drops off...

Well here it is! I knew it would add bass, and it sure does. Interestingly, with the stock pads, extra bass via the Cayin C5 overwhelmed the 1770s. But these pads manage to contain it, which is fascinating. My surprise is that the mids sound more natural with the Dekoni sheepskin pads. The highs...

And what about this 64 bit processing? Turn it on or not? I'm clueless!

Hey all, in Neutron, should "dither" be applied? I have no idea what it does or if it is good for my music files (which include a range of types, some high res)

Thanks, I've ordered the Dekoni sheepskin. I plan to use the 1770s on the go, so isolation is important for me, too.

@RockStar2005 - I quite like the higher treble emphasis on the 770s and wondered if you would recommend either the Hybrid or Sheepskin to generate that effect? (though not too much!)

Be interested to hear if people have experience of the Dekoni hybrids AND sheepskin pads for the 1770s. Planing to pull the trigger on one, but not both, sets. I think it was @RockStar2005 who preferred the sheepskin, while Joshua Valour (Youtube video creator) spoke highly of the hybrid. Any...

The sound presets are Normal, Enhanced, Detailed, Live and Bass Digital filters are Short (produces a more spatial and ambient sound), sharp (produces a more natural sound) and slow (produces a clearer sound)

Digital filter can be Short, Sharp or Slow, by the way

Here's a screen shot:

They are harder to drive, yes. Difficult to measure, but I'd say that what needs full 75 volume with the 770s would need 65 on the 1990s. That perhaps gives a rough idea?

I'm pretty new to Android - I'm not even sure how I would have done that! Any suggestions?

Forgot this bit: when I plug in my 770s I use the Hi-Fi Status app to tell me what is happening - it shows 50Ohm. Is that what you mean?

Does anyone know why adverts occasionally pop up after unlocking the phone? Is that due to one of the apps? How to turn them off?

By the way, I received the LGv30 for free as an upgrade phone, which avoided the potential mess of Ebay. I'm only paying a pound a month more, plus I get 15GB data instead of the 1GB my old phone was on! Very happy with the LGv30 - it provides a sharper, crisper, cleaner sound that my Fiio...

This was super helpful, thanks. I purchased the 1770s! I experimented yesterday with the 1990s in town, just to make sure they would be loud enough, in comparison with the 770s, and they were. The phone provided more than enough juice, even for high dynamic range quieter tracks. I am sorely...

I presume so - the slot can go up to 2 TB(!). I have the following in my Lgv30 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B073JY5T7T/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (i..e, the SanDisk 200GB 100MB/s)

Really helpful discussion. I have the LGv30 now, which I'm enjoying, but for on the go it doesn't offer quite enough power for my DT770s (250Ohm). My DT 1990s, however, are plenty loud enough due to the 102 decibel-per-miliwatt sensitivity, contrasted with the lower rate in the 770s. Given this...

Thanks, thats helpful to know. I'm close to buying the 1770s for on-the-go use (I've enjoyed the 1990s for years - love them) and needed to know if they would also be as easy to drive as my LGv30 doesn't quite drive the 770s well enough, but it has plenty of juice for the 1990s.

I've noticed that the 250 Ohm DT 1990s are easier to drive than the 250 Ohm DT 770s. Is that because of the tesla drivers?

Bit late on this one, but was thinking of using a LG v20 with my DT770s for on the go use. Are you suggesting that they cannot power them enough for certain tracks? - I have a few pretty quiet classical music files, you see, that I'd love to have enough whack.

Hope the ukulele playing is coming along well! Happy Christmas and soon New Year to you from the UK. Your online presence is missed!

I'm sure somebody has already said this, but I found that the DAC was crucial. Via my PC, the headphones could sound harsh, but that was because of the way my crappy PC DAC managed the digital data. Through my Chord Mojo there is no harshness whatsoever. So I would suggest your issues has to do...
