Does anyone have experience with both the Schiit LYR and Little Dot MK IV SE amps?  If yes, which amp would pair better with the Beyer DT 880 (600 ohm) ?

I'm quite interested in this headphone. Many love it and I hear lots of good things about it. I would tend to lean towards the 600 ohm version while choosing, mainly because, as wolfetan44 says, everybody says it sounds better than the 250 ohm! Can you hear a really noticeable difference with the same amp when comparing the two? I would think you would... My only concern is how hard it is to drive the 600 ohm. I would imagine the 250 is more convenient because it would work well with a broad variety of equipment feeding it. I'm using a Heed CanAmp. I think that would work well even with the 600 ohm version.

Same here. Given how good the 250 ohm is for the price (or even twice the price), I can only think the 600 ohm would be different rather than better.

Although I've read similar opinions about the O2 on this forum, I'm not biased towards disregarding it as a choice, especially if I can get a chance to try one. Definitely a lot on this thread about the O2 (both sides) vs. the DT880s...

 

I've got the 600Ohm version and still enjoying them as much as I did the first day I got them in. Should be able to find a pair for $250...Amazon Warehouse Deals has some used ones for a good deal. They'll take em back if you're not happy with them either. (http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0024NK35S/ref=sr_1_3_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1356641831&sr=8-3&keywords=dt880&condition=used)

thanks for your inputs, just bought a new DT 880 600 ohms on amazon sold by amazon and is new for $266, couldnt help myself but plunge into the world of beyer. Super duper excited.

I thought it was a good deal for a new can.

Keep the 880, and use an EQ.

Thanks but how/where do you add a EQ?

Does anyone think the Little Dot I could make these justice? I'm looking for an amp around the $100 mark for these headphones, and since the Little Dot is hybrid it might me a nicer match for the DT880s, right? Or should I just go ahead and get the Schiit Magni? Thanks

 

Here's the link on amazon

150MW into 300 ohm 

 

vs

 

260MW into 300ohm for the Schiit Magni
