As a follow up, I was able to snag a set of AKG N60NC wireless headphones for a REALLY good price. This gets me noise canceling, which will be good for the office and the plane while I am traveling. Thanks for the suggestions!!!

Hey all, it's been a minute since I've been here. I'm looking to power my 250ohm Beyer DT770pro headphones from my macbook while I travel and am away from my home setup. I've done some searching, and mostly finding portable amps targeted at IEMs. I assume this is mostly because of usb power...

Nice write up!

Like the title says, I have an audigy zs2, I'm building a Millett Mini Max.  I'm about to pull the trigger on the kit, and was wondering if I should get the grub dac while I'm at it, or keep the audigy, get something else, or wait till the new creative cards come out with their new sound...

Probably when I was listening to my Radiohead on my A900's when I was 16.   Just had one today when I got home from work.  I left my brand new 325is's burning in, 8 hours total so far.  Kids by MGMT has never sounded so good.  This is using an Audigy ZS2 as a source also.

Hate to revive an old thread, but, for headphones, are you guys using track 1, or 2 to burn in?  I just got my grado 325is's, and while I'm at work, I'd like to start the burn in.

Like the title says, I have to reconfigure the virtual devices everytime the computer restarts.  Already had to mess with the registry to get it to use the 64bit driver so I can output at 96khz.   So, anyone have a fix for this?  I'd use KS, but, asio sounds better!

Nothing? Nobody is going to help me?

I need an amp, I'm thinking something around $200-$275 for my A900's, and DT770pro's. The source will be a Creative Audigy ZS2 soundcard. I know I need to upgrade my source, but, that will come later.

Okay, for an update. I got a Zune30. I must say, it sounds just ass good as the Xtra. I wouldn't say better, but, just as good. The color screen is great, I love how it is set up. The software sucks, but, I only use it to put music on. So, if I had to do it again, I'd get the zune again.
