Quote: Ok, thanks for the info.     One last question (and I know I've asked this several times).  If I use the E9/E10 playing through my computer, would the HD600 or the DT880 be the better can (I listen to classical, opera, classic rock, and would use them for movies).    ...

Hey guys, I'm thinking that I'm gonna buy a new set of cans in the 300$ price range.  I'll likely be playing them from my laptop and through an E9/E10 setup.  I have two questions:   1) Would the HD600 or the DT880/600 be better cans to go with that amp/dac setup?  I listen to all sorts of...

Quote: I got the impression that the E10 would not be enough power to power the headphones to their full potential.  So would it not be necessary to have another amp, like the E9, to power the cans well?

Quote:   I'm confused as to why you're saying that you wouldn't use the E9 with the E10.  It seems like a lot of people do that, since the amp in the E10 isn't all that powerful.  Am I missing something here?    

Quote:   Would I still need to get the E9 with the E10, or would the E10 give enough power on its own?

Hey guys,    Im about to purchase the hd600s and wanted to know what the best sub-200$ amp/dac setup to go with it would be. I was going to get the E7/E9 combo, but wanted to see if anyone thought there was a better option. Also, what cables would be necessary to be going from a MacBook pro...

Quote: I don't have any gear and would be starting from scratch; I'd need an amp/DAC in addition to the cans. Quote: Do you (or anyone else) have an opinion on how much difference there is between the DT880 600 and 250, assuming that both were played through a really good...

Hey guys,   I posted yesterday about trying to find nice cans for classical, and I think I've narrowed down to two options, the HD600 and the DT880.     Which would you recommend? Also if you recommend the DT880, would you recommend the 600 or 250?  Based on what I've read, some people...

Quote: Yes I go to live concerts, but only a few times a year I play piano and guitar, but only casually and not very well I haven't owned any hi-fi headphones myself.  The nicest thing I ever owned was a pair of Bose QC2, which I liked fine but thought that they didn't really satisfy...

Hey guys,   I'm new to the forum and was looking for a bit of advice.  I've recently been hankering for some better headphones to listen to classical music with.  I'd want them to be pretty versatile, in that they'd be good for symphonic, chamber, opera, and piano.  I don't have a particular...
