Say what now? ^^

They do somewhat. I think they still sound aggressive and in your face.

The 1150 isnt bad at all. Maybe your mainboard already has an amp ic on board. From that list Schiit Modi2/Magni2 stack or Objective stack. If our fellow head-fiers are to be believed, they should sound about the same.

Theres nothing wrong with your setup. From what I read here on head-fi, it seems your not alone with this "problem" of too much gain with the Fulla 2. Schiit should have added a gain switch. Plus, as others have mentioned, iems are not too power hungry. The few that I have are all easily driven...

According to Tyll there is, favoring the classic over the neo. I get the impression folks around here prefer Senns over beyer and akg.

I can drive my 650s with my phone. They dont get super loud but loud enough. Does it sound like crap? Hell no. Quite good actually. I always leave my Objective stack on low gain (1.0x) with the 650s, even with the 880s. Soo, I dont know. From my experience, if you have a decent source and you...

The K5 is only an Amp. The e10k is both dac and amp. Personally I have no experience with either. But I own the HD 598 and its not hard to drive at all. I have a Micca Origen lookalike dac/amp and it pairs very well with the HD 598.

Just dropping some names: Schiit Fulla 2, Micca Origen+, Monoprice DAC/Amp #11567.

Beyerdynamic DT 880 without a doubt.

You said it yourself. You are turning 7.1 on on your device, not on youtube.Youtube supports "only" 5.1 channel according to this site: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/1722171?hl=en-GB Btw, the hyper x headsets are not really 7.1 setups but "only" stereo headphones with virtual 7.1...

The 662 is Realteks baseline 6 channel HD audio codec. Realtek provides a comparison chart: http://www.realtek.com.tw/images/products/High_Definition_Audio_Codec_Selection_Guide_07182008.jpg    For me the 892 is borderline acceptable. It works and e.g. the HD 598 get loud enough but in an...

Never heard a G4ME series headphone. But I read somewhere that the recent ones use the same driver as the HD 5x8 line of headphones. Well, even with my decade old X-Fi soundcard the HD 598 sound way better than with my realtek 892 onboard sound. And they sound even better with the Objective...

Will be getting the FX Audio Dac x6 for my brother soon. Let you know how it fares when I have it.

For me the term grain or graininess or whatever doesnt mean anything. I read it  a lot and still have no clue what people mean when they use that term. I never heard the 600s with the ODAC/O2, but I own the 580 and 650 and I really like em both with the Objective stack.No harshness, no...

Well, for 200€ there are quite a few options actually. The Schiit stuff, Fulla 2, Magni/Modi stack, the ODAC and Objective 2 (which I have), Micca Origen, SMSL stuff, Hifimediy stuff and usb interfaces from Behringer, Focusrite, Yamaha and the like.  Do you have any preferences regarding...

I own the HD 598 and really really like them with one of my usb dacs which is kind of a Micca Origen clone, which looks like this:   https://www.amazon.de/InLine-AmpUSB-Kopfhörer-Verstärker-Digital-Konverter/dp/B0147RN4JK/ref=pd_sbs_147_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=ZZHK1P3RFYVDSP6RJCER  ...

For music production AKG K612. Although I use DT 880 in conjunction with HD 580 and K701. If I only had budget for one can, it would be the K 612.

Compared to something like an m50 or HD 681 Evo, the bass on the K 240 is anemic. With the stock pads, because they are so flat, your ears will be touching the driver housing, of course you get the most bass out of them. With the hifiman velour pads you get more distance from your ears to the...

I use the K 240 S with HiFiMAN velour pads and and I did excessive testing with other pads that I had lying around. Swapping pads back and forth like a maniac. For me with these pads the k240s dont lose bass presence at all and actually sound better than with the stock pads. Not thin or harsh at...

Preach it.

The DT 880 are the king of comfort. Ranking: DT 880 > HD 580 > HD 598 > K701

Listening right now ... :) Im throwing the HD 598 into the mix aswell. With the dac/amp that Im using right now, they have the best synergy together. Unfortunately I havent my ODAC/O2 stack here with me right now. The dac/amp that Im using right now is not the best for the 880s or the 701s. ---...

Do you have a good source? Youtube is kinda shoddy. ^^
