Question about integrated amp and HD-650

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

Hi Head-fiers,

I am new to the forums and just recently decided to buy soon the popular Sennheiser HD-650 headphones.

As I searched the forums for suitable budget usb DAC I find the Musiland Monitor 02 US to be interesting purchase for the price range.

For amp on the other hand I have at home an integrated amp - TEAC AH-300.I was wondering if it would pair with the sennheiser's or should I look for other amp specially for headphones.I know I can't tell until i see by myself but i guess if you some of you have experience with such amps and how they behave with headphones it will be helpful.I guess also it depends on the amp's class but I am not that into the subject and will be glad if you give me some insight.

I will also appreciate any suggestions about budget DAC/DAC+ amp within the price range of 300$.

Here is the specs of the amp.

Power Output: 35W + 35W RMS (8 Ohms)

well i drive my HD650 with a vintage Pioneer SA-7500 integrated amp & it sounds fabuuulous - quick, punchy, airy, detailed with forward mids. certainly not slow dull nor boring. better than a max opa627 PPAv2 i once had for sure.

 

forget the specs (35wpc is like 100x overkill if u must know) & just plug the 650 & play. worst case is u can buy a dedicated headamp if u must.
