Hello fellow Beyer lovers!   I have a problem and I think this might be the right place to ask for assistance. I've had my DT 770's 80Ω for a couple of months now listening straight from my crappy laptop but now I want a dedicated amp so I was hoping I could get some expert input from you...

That seems like the way to go then. I don't know if I can have open headphones or not. My brother sits 7 feet from me, he's also using headphones so I'm probably not gonna disturb him but he talks with friends on skype every so often which isn't that bad now but might be a problem with open...

Quote: Although what you're saying makes sense I'm trying to get the most value out of what I already have. I have my DT 770s and I've got $600 I can spend on improving my setup, from here I can take two routes, either getting an amp/DAC or buying new headphones and buying an amp/DAC. If...

So you're saying that after around $200 the money doesn't really improve the sound anymore and I would have to buy new headphones(with proper amp and all that stuff) to further improve my setup?

Quote: Do you have personal experience with these amps and DACs paired with the DT 770s? All the items you've mentioned are far beneath my maximum budget and I want to improve as much as possible at once not in small increments so I'm a little worried about buying that cheap items.

No my laptop doesn't have any optical outputs, just USB. Sorry for not mentioning it in my first post but I'm looking for a desktop amp, not a portable one.

A couple of months ago i purchased my first set of good headphones, the DT 770 80 Ω. I'm very happy with them and now it's time to get a proper amp and perhaps a DAC for them. I have around 600$ I can spend and before I'm making any purchases I'm wondering what sort of improvement I'll get by...

Hi. I've ordered Beyerdynamics DT770 but I wont' get them until the end of February so I'm wondering if there are any other ones in the same price range that offers the same audio quality.     Usage: Music, melodeath only. I currently use Sennheiser PC350(primarily bought for gaming) and...

Quote: Seems like the amp should be able to handle the 250 Ohm. Not really a basshead so I think I'm gonna get the 250 Ohm as soon as I've got the money for them  (both the 80 and 250 Ohm are much cheaper to buy new here than on eBay.) That will probably be after christmas so it isn't...

Quote:   So the PA2V2 can't drive the 250 Ohm properly? Is there a big difference in sound quality between 80 Ohm and 250 Ohm or just a slight one, and is the difference in the bass noticeable? How are they for melodeath?

First I want to apologize for the unclarity in my previous posts. I wasn't really making clear what I wanted and I didn't really know to be honest. Now, let's start from scratch;   Usage: Music, melodeath only. I currently use Sennheiser PC350(primarily bought for gaming) and a PA2V2 pocket...

Quote: Here in Sweden the 32, 80 and 250 Ohm all cost pretty much the same and the 600 Ohm is way more expensive. It seems like the 32 and 80 Ohm are the same with the only exception of the impedance, not sure though. As far as amps go I've only got a PA2V2 pocket amp and I can't buy...

Quote: They're both about the same price here in Sweden. Is there any other differences in sound than less bass in the 32 Ohm version?

Quote: Could you please explain the thing about sonically, I'm kinda newb at this :). Are the DT770 well fit for melodic death metal? They look like a good set of phones that are comfortable and I've read some positive reviews about sound and comfort. There seems to be a couple of different...

Quote: The PC350 indeed is pretty good, much better than my AKG K518 and Senn CX300-II precision, especially for gaming. Would upgrading to one of the phones you mentioned or Senn HD25 significantly increase sound quality or would it stay on the same level, would it be worth upgrading? The...

Right now I'm using my Sennheiser pc 350's with a PA2V2 pocket amp when listening to music :). My first question is if there will be a noticeably difference between these and a couple of headphones originally made for music. As there probably will be; I pretty much only listen to melodeath with...
