Hello everyone, i am very new to this thread. i have made an account long time ago, but never posted. just browsed.
my question is as follows;
I own some headphones, and I have no dedicated desktop Dac/Amp combo for my PC.
At the moment I use my DAP to listen to my music but would rather have a more powerful desktop solution.
the DAC/AMP in question is the Fostex HP-A4. I chose this because of its price point and for what it can deliver.
Now, my collection of music is mostly 16bit/44.1 FLAC. however, i do have a few albums from various artists at 24bit. (I dont have anything higher like DSD or DXD or what have you.)
The Headphones I have in my collection for various music use are not many, but they are as follows.
1. Bower and Wilkins P7 (wired).
2. Bang and Olufsen H6 (2nd Gen).
3. AKG k712 Pro.
4. Beyer Dynamic DT 1990 Pro.
So, would the Fostex DAC/AMP be able to power these headphones without me having to max the volume knob or would it be better for me to find something more powerful? any recommendations for something more powerful would be very helpful. Also, please don't recommend something that costs thousands and thousands of $, as my budget is fairly limited.
Thank you for your time
