Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
This weekend I tried the 1990s with a first generation Fiio E17 Alpen. I didn't know if it was powerful enough to drive these cans but it worked perfectly, I just had to raise the volume a bit from what I use with my AKGs. They sounded a bit different in comparison with the Xonar E1, the high...- blastomorpha

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
I think I'm the only one who has no problems with the stock cable, the coiled one at least which I always used since the 1990s arrived a week ago :) I would change it only to have some sonic improvement. On this topic, I leave my cans playing a loop of "burn in" videos from YouTube while I'm at...- blastomorpha

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
I'm sure it's been asked or discussed already but did anyone try different pads than those that come with the headphones? As now I'm happy with the A pads (yesterday I listened to some Autechre... oh man, I'm more and more convinced that the 1990s give the best with electronic stuff... damn that...- blastomorpha

I'm enjoying my new DT 1990 PRO these days, do you think I should upgrade the opamp in the AMP section to get the most from the headphones, or just buy a new amp and use the E1 only as a DAC?- blastomorpha

Maybe next time I'll try the Bs I'll change my mind about them, who knows.- blastomorpha

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 PRO - Beyer's open-back mastering headphone
Hi everyone, just got my 1990s on saturday and had a couple of late night two hours long listening sessions, playing some "audiophile burn in" videos on YouTube while doing everything else. Got them used but in mint condition from Amazon Wharehouse Deals for a very nice price, with coiled cable...- blastomorpha

Upgrade from AKG K240 MKII + Asus Xonar Essence One/Yamaha A-S500
Apart from the marginal box damages, everything else is in mint condition, only the coiled cable was used but still has the protective plastic near the jack end. I found the headphones with the "balanced" pad, listened a couple of tracks, but everything sounded very dark and muffled. Changed...- blastomorpha

Asus Essence One MKII / MKII MUSES Edition
So you're suggesting me to buy the new opamps by my own, not the kit, am I right? I read that post abot the roll-off but honestly I used that feature a couple of times maybe, I remember to notice some loss in the lower frequencies but didn't care too much.- blastomorpha

Asus Essence One MKII / MKII MUSES Edition
Hi there. Until recent I didn't know an update kit was available and ready to buy on Amazon. At first I thought I could continue with my first edition X1 as I don't have any music in the DSD format at the moment, but then I saw that the kit included an hardware upgrade. Now, as you can see from...- blastomorpha

Upgrade from AKG K240 MKII + Asus Xonar Essence One/Yamaha A-S500
I found a pair of used but like new Beyerdynamic DT1990 PRO on Amazon and I had a credit gift, so they would cost me just below the 350€ I intended to pay... just couldn't resist :D- blastomorpha

Upgrade from AKG K240 MKII + Asus Xonar Essence One/Yamaha A-S500
Ok, I checked both the T90 (Amiron Home model actually) and the SR325e. Both are beyond what I would like to pay unless getting it used, but reading some reviews I see that they have a particular sound, so I 'd feel safer buying them from Amazon or similar. Price is not that problem if the...- blastomorpha
