DT770 Pro 80 ohm Portable DAC + Amp

DT770 Pro 80 ohm Portable DAC + Amp
hm.. that kinda blows up quite a few options-- and i'd say that the majority of sub 200 dollar critters for that kinda dough are gonna be pretty similar! but if you can squeak a bit-- i can give a pretty good recommendation for the ifi idsd nano black label which i use with 80 ohm 770s with no...- newholland

Recommendations for DT150esque in ear
