My DT880's finally arrived and they are awesome!, my first high-end headphone and it is safe to say, this was money well spent.  They sound superb, will have to give it some more listening to music, movies and games to make sure they are great. Not to mention they are so comfortable, its...

Quote: That was the way i was leaning, thanks a lot for your help :D! Makes me feel that i'm making the right choice.

Hello all, i've been trying to choose between the DT880 and the AD900's, they would be used for listening to trance/house mainly and playing some games on the side. I have a xonar essence ST card and will most likely buy a headphone amp (Little dot MK II most likely).   I've been siding to...

Quote: So with just an essence ST an no amp, it wouldn't be worth getting 600ohm version. Will probably end up going 250ohm version then since it'll run better, not sure if i have enough money for an amp as well at the moment although i've been looking at the little dot II since it's not...

Quote: I wouldn't listen to anything extremely loud. If i wasn't to get an extra amp, would the 600ohm version still be worth getting over 250ohm's even if it wasn't properly powered without the extra amp.. Also to consider that, the 250 and 600 are the same price from where i'm looking on...

Quote: Well, a lot of my music is in "sets" from trance events and what not, so unless foobar can count it songs from each set lol.

Hey anybody with the Xonar Esssence ST, use it with the 600-ohm version? How well did it work? (I'm pretty new to all this audio stuff) I've been looking at purchasing the 600-ohm version but not sure if the ST would power it well enough. Would a tube amplifier be a good investment with it...

Wish i knew, don't even use itunes, despise it almost lol. But in storage wise i have 30gig of music, not as much as i'd like but it's enough!   Mabye i should use itunes...

I wouldn't but it might be hard to fit another PCI-E card especially if i want to SLI later on, im running GTX 670 (Gigabyte ver) at the moment and as i mentioned it is very crowded, A PCI connection would be a better fit, but if there is a decent PCI-E card i could check it out.

Recently i've been looking to purchase a new pair of headphones, and as a result need a new sound card. I've been looking at the Xonar Essence ST for the upgrade and it seems to have good reviews and very good quality for the price. The max im willing to go is about $200 for a sound card. If...

Hello all, I've recently been looking for pair oh headphones that would be ideally used for listening to trance,house and uplifting and gaming.   I've been looking at mainly the Beyerdynamic DT 880 600ohm's and the audio technica AD 700's. Looking for something with decent base but would...
