Schiit Valhalla with high imp. cans?

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

Hi all,

 

Been a srsly long time since i listened to my cans..Been listening to speakers for the past few years but got back to my cans recently.

 

I currently have 2 cans, an AKG 701 and Beyer DT990 (600ohms).

 

Been using a Darkvoice 336SE to run the cans. The 701 sounds fabulous on the 336, but i would like to purchase another amp for my vinyl/laptop setup, which brings me to the question..does anyone have any experience driving the DT990 (600ohms) on the Vahalla?

 

The DT990 sounds not too shabby on the 336 right now but i reckon the bass needs to be alittle tighter, with the midrange being more upfront then it is now (but then again, that could be the DT990's character).

 

I reckon i'll throw in my RS-1s into the mix (once the busted driver gets repaired). And perhaps a Sony SA-5000 since they're so cheap right now.

 

Apologies if i sound like i'm rambling ( i know i am), but it's been a long time since i last used my headphones/amp so my questions might not come across as succinctly as i would like them to!

Thank you Riseandraze, really appreciate the response.

 

I'm pondering over the Valhalla + a DAC and perhaps the T1 for my computer setup. Abit over the top (and over my budget!), but hey, we only live once.

I have a KICAS Caliente...I suggest you look more into it. I actually considered the 336, among other tube & ss amps, but went with this one after all my research. It is very good and affordable.

As mentioned, I found the Valhalla to be excellent with the 600 ohm T1. The Valhalla is going to be at it's best with high impedance headphones. All the 600 ohm Beyers should work well.
