Can anyone help me choose between the above 2 combos?

I believe that I have narrowed my choice down to 2.   1. O2 + ODAC Separates   2. Schiit Asgard + Schiit Modi DAC   and then when I get some more money I will try and sell my 880's and go for some 990's.

I will consider upgrading just the headphones then, if I can get a good amount on the resale of my 880's.   However, I had an audiophile friend come over and configure JRiver media center for me and said that there may be some sort of bass roll-off feature on the FiiO amp that is preventing...

Quote: Thanks,   I should have mentioned but I am wondering if any of the Schiit products would give that combo a run for its money. Possibly the Asgard amp an the modi DAC?   I should also mention that I am using my PC as a source. Currently I am using SPDIF out on my computer into...

Hey everyone,   As the title states, I have a pair of DT-880's the 250Ω version and I am currently powering them with a FiiO E17 / E09K combo.   I purchased the amp and dac very recently on Amazon and I am already thinking about upgrading. I am still within the 30-day return window so I...

No I have not, I have been saving up some money TBH. I have the money to purchase what I want right now but it won't last long so I need some advice!

Quote: Thank you for that link, it was a great read.   I am really tempted to purchase this combo but I was also looking at the FIIO E17 and unable to decide which one would be better.

Anyone else?

Hey all,   I have been researching my first "decent" pair of headphones purchase for quite some time now, and it looks like I have about $300 to spend ATM. The best combo that I have found seems to be the Sennheiser HD598's and the Digizoid ZO2 bass boosting amp. I have not had a chance to...

Hey all,   I have been looking for a pair of headphones that are super comfortable and have great sound across the board for different types of music. I think that I have settles on the Beyer Dynamic DT-880's as they have a great sound stage and can sound good with many different genre's of...

Oh well not a problem and I actually was suggested the dt 880s on overclock.net from a thread that I made there. I was just looking for a little bit more confirmation before I made my decision. Like I said I will be using them mostly to listen to music and for a little bit of gaming on the...

Even the 600 OHM ones? I hear they are alot smoother than the 32/250 OHM's

So I have been debating between a few different sets of headphones and I am wondering if what I am proposing will work or not.   The headphones that I have been looking at are the Beyerdynamic DT-880's (32/250/600 OHM) as well as the Audio Technica ATH-AD900's, and the Sennheiser HD...
