Please help choose amp + soundcard(possibly dac) for DT770/80!
I do like to bump my cans on occasion, so I will need some sort of amplification. IIRC the STX has a decent built in amp, but that's definitely out of my price range... will the xonar dg be able to drive my phones sufficiently? The e17 looks great but it's a bit expensive for me atm...- bmur

headphones for 7 year old sister
Thanks for the suggestions, the ksc75 are a possibility. The other headphones looks good, especially the downtown.. but the cost is a bit high. Sorry, I forgot to mention I want to find something rather inexpensive. If she takes care of them maybe I'll get her some downtowns or something later.- bmur

Looking to purchase a quality pair of headphones, I will be mostly using them for gaming, movies and music. COMFORT IS KING #1 on the list, I must be able to wear these for hours on end with no soreness on my ears. Closed, over ear I'm sure whatever I get will have satisfactory isolation, if...- bmur

Hey joker, ******* amazing list you've created, it must be very satisfying. I'm gonna go ahead and jump on the bandwagon to ask your advice.

Okayyyy, I was leaning towards the Ety's but kept stumbling upon posts saying the bass is weak, and honestly I do love bass. Then I discovered the basshead club - I don't know alot of the models but I'm slowly sifting through. I also found the ThermalTake Isurus which dsnuts said were similiar...- bmur
