Hi, I am hoping to hear from EMU 0404usb owners, or anyone who has spent some time using said DAC/headphone amp who also own higher end phones. The question is, does it drive your phones adequately, or do you feel the need to add an additional amp?
I am currently using Audio-Technica ath-a55s and ath-ad700s, and it is a rare day that I get the volume over 25%, so this leads me to believe it could drive more demanding phones, such as maybe even 250 - 300 ohm models? I am shopping for a leap up in quality in my next headphone purchase and some I am looking at are in that range.
If you have the time, please give a little review of your headphones as they sound with the EMU.
(I am posting this in the headphones section because that is what I am interested in hearing more about - I already own the EMU
