Appreciate the response, I have Modi so far is that worth upgrading to bifrost? I would probably use the upgraded usb if i got it upgraded. Thoughts on that?

how does the A2 drive dt990 600ohm?

What do we think about Dt990 600 vs the dt880 600 ohm with A2? 

So I am in the bidness for a pair of open back headphones. I am between Beyerdynamic Dt990 premium and Sennheiser HD650. Now I know Vahalla or Lyr would be an overall better amp for those two cans but i have the A2 and love it. Which would you guys suggest to pair well with A2?

you could probably get it to work through your m-aduio piece but you dont want too many amplification pieces or units to have a higher impedance on the signal. I would recommend using a USB signal out to a DAC then an digital (RCA) from the DAC to an amp like Magni or your m-audio equipment (if...

First off what headphones are you looking to purchase? Just an FYI 32ohm headphones are not hard to drive and could easily be driven off your computer or laptop or what have you. High impedance headphones are anything 120ohms and up or 300ohm and up.    If higher end audio is something you...
