Quote:   Better aesthetically or sound wise? Or both?

So, my velours are quite nasty, and I have a friend who can get the gel pads from Germany (I live in Brazil, so I can't get them here). I found this on beyer europe site:   http://europe.beyerdynamic.com/shop/ohrmuschelsatz.html German site...

I am currently amping my DT 990 with the audio-gd Sparrow, and i have no clue if this is enough, never heard any other sort of amp. There is need for more amplification that will justifiy the purchase of a separate amp? Also, which one do you guys suits better these beyers, SS or tube amps?  ...

I've just received my DT990/600 today, and i am liking it a lot. By some reviews, i was worried, waiting for LOADS of extra bass, but no... IMO the bass is VERY good, not as exagerated as people describes. The highs, on the other side, are very bright, indeed, almost sibilant. But i like the...

Mine arrived very quickly to Brazil, but i got taxed, lol. I'm going to get it tomorrow, then i will post my impressions against my realtek onboard soundcard. I'm very curious to see the results.

I've ordered the B version with WM8741. It cost me $15 to upgrade. It's my introduction to dedicated amp/dac department. Let's see what's coming for me.

I will use the DT 880 (600 ohm) with the Sparrow B version from Audio-GD. It will cost less then $200 (shipping from China included), and the unit works as a DAC and AMP. It may not be THE option in amplification for beyers, but for a budget amp, it quite does its job, they say.

So, Sparrow support ASIO or i will have to emulate it with ASIO4ALL? Will it make a difference in sound (using basic version)?

My friend has one, and i listened to it sometimes. For $34, is a no brainer.

Quote: Same thing with me, but i want the DT 990 instead. Haloxt said people with compass were able to drive the beyers, so sparrow would be almost the same, or the same thing. Anyway, i hope someone with a sparrow and any 600 ohm beyer can give some info here :D

So, about exchanging modules, you need to solder something, or its just like "plug and play"?

So, anyone tried some 600 ohm beyer with sparrow? Want to make sure it drives beyers well enough, before i get it.

There is the basic version of the Sparrow by audio-gd, it costs $150 (with USB) plus shipping. I'm thinking of getting this one.   http://www.audio-gd.com/Pro/Headphoneamp/Sparrow/SparrowEN.htm

Anyone here EQ the UM3X in the high range? If so, how you EQ?
