I use it with DT990 600Ohm.  It drives them well and sounds great.

I just acquired a dacmagic 100.  Very nice little device.  I don't have much to compare it to as it is my first DAC.  I can say however that it is a vast improvement over my existing source which is my ipod input via my AV receiver which has an awful noise floor.  The sound quality from the DM...

I'm interested in a new upgrade to help bring out the best in my Beyer DT990-600 Ohm headphones.  My setup is located in my living room and uses my AV receiver as my DAC.   Currently my main setup is as follows:   Ipod > Pioneer AV AMP via proprietary cable > Darkvoice 3322 Tube Amp >...

I have the same headphones.  Not sure of stores in NYC.  The Woo amps are a great match for those cans (and NYC made!) but the lowest model is $500.  You may want to look at amps by Trends, I tried one in my local shop and it was good with dt990 250. Another suggestion I don't think many...

I'm a new owner of the Darkvoice 3322 so I thought I'd post my experiences with it in this thread.  I bought mine locally in Hong Kong, my unit is black in color and I haven't seen any silver editions in the shops here.  I'm relatively new to the higher end headphone world and this is my first...

I recently bought some Beyer DT990s and am quite happy with them.  I bought a Musical Fidelity VCAN amp to power them.  I did audition the amp at an audio shop and thought they sounded best for their price point.  My source is a Sansa Fuze playing 320kbps MP3 or FLAC files or a Marantz CD5001...

I'm also interested in hearing some solutions.  Bump.

  My current setup is playback from an ipod connected to a Pioneer AV receiver that has a proprietary ipod line-in connection.  I am using a Musical Fidelity V-CAN amplifier connected to the tape-out connection of the Pioneer and have Beyer DT-990 headphones connected to the VCAN.    I am...

  I just purchased some Beyer DT-990 600Ohm headphones and had intended to use them with my AV receiver.  I wasn't satisfied with the sound from the headphone jack of the receiver.  Something is causing it to emit a hiss and I found the sound quality was better out of my USB sound card at my...

I just recently purchased Beyerdynamic DT-990 600Ohm headphones with the intention of using my AV receiver to drive them.  The quality out of the receiver is disappointing.  There is a hiss and they sound muffled.  They sound a lot better driven by my external USB sound card (lexicon alpha).  ...

I do minimal listening at the PC I really intended for it to work well with my amp.

It's a Pioneer VSX-2016 AV.  Surely a capable amp for home theater, but I suppose its either old, has a crappy headphone jack or some kind of grounding issue..  

Any source.  The hiss is there as soon as I connect them.  It only goes away if I press mute.
