How well would it work to try and build an internal compartment in your box itself and then put the trafo and PSU in that separate compartment? A couple of aluminum plates should be enough to separate the trafo and PSU from the rest of the amp. A bit similar to this for example...

You should post a WTB thread on the for sale forum with your request for a β22 builder. There are forum members on this forum who do such things, like MisterX for example. Just start a thread with your request here: Amplification For Sale / Trade - Head-Fi: Covering Headphones, Earphones and...

How about a Audio Technica AD700 for gaming and a Grado SR80i for your rock needs. Just an idea though, not necessarily a recommendation. Just do a search on both of them to get an idea of what they're like.

Quote: Originally Posted by Kees It is not more power that you need for the 600 Ohm. The 600 Ohm drivers can sound better than the 250 Ohm drivers, but, because of the high impedance they need an amp with a large voltage swing. OTL amps can do that. That is why not every amp shall be...

Quote: Originally Posted by Weps Yes, you can find it here. That one is 250 Ohm. The problem with the Beyerdynamic DT770, DT880 and DT990 is that there are many many different versions of them. Way too many I think. You have the PRO versions of them, with the DT770 PRO in both...

Is there a DT880 PRO 80 Ohm? I didn't know about that one.....

What version of the DAC-19 did you buy? I think we need to start a new thread for both the new DAC-19 and the C-2 amp and leave this thread and the C-2C thread for those specific products. Might be less confusing and would make this and the C-2C thread a better place for owners of those...

Isn't this the result of what milosz says? You want (/need) to filter all frequencies above the 20 kHz out of your resulting signal as they mess with your amp. To do that you need a very good analog filter (as Kingwa said). That low-pass filter needs to let all frequencies below the 20kHz to go...
