That's reassuring, I do notice the sibilance in my pair but it's not intolerable by any means. I listened to a friend's dt880/600 briefly before pulling the trigger on mine. I might have to borrow them for a while once my pair are broken in and compare.

The O2 is touted as a neutral amp that will pretty much just let you raise the volume - my ears confirm this so far. Pairing it with the dt880s, which are also quite neutral, might sound flat or unappealing for many people. Do you have another pair of headphones? If you do, it might pay to try a range of amps and see if you'd prefer a neutral one or maybe something with more colour.
The only difference I found btwm 250 and 600 Ohm was in the highs. Less strident in the 600.
The 600 seemed overall 'smoother', but that could have been psychological...

Hi, want to get a pair of these, and it seems like i should be getting the 600 model, but i do not have a headphone amp. Do I need one, if i have udac2 with my computer? I see a lot of people have the o2 model. Is a home made model like this the best deal?
