That's unfortunate. But I think you are in the right direction with the Dac/Amp choice there.   Found one at about $200 in the sale thread. Hopefully it is still there. I am also getting pure music in 2 weeks. Stay with foobar 2000 for now though.

Hello there, I will update my post once again, after the headphone burn in is complete in 2-3 days or so.   Anyway, mind sharing your dac/amp set up for the DT880 600 ohm?

Hi all,   I am new to the mid or high end headphone and didnt usually listen to a music through an open headphones.   Last month I borrowed my fiend's Senn HD558 +Fiio E10. After listening to different file types (flac vs 320 vs 192 vs junk record) of the same song, I realized that it did...
