Hey there, I would also like to drop some quick questions regarding the DT 1990 Pro!   So, currently I'm rocking the DT 990 Edition 600 ohm with a Audio-GD NFB-11 dac-amp.   I was wondering if the DT 1990  was worth it to switch from the DT 990? And would the NFB be fine with the DT 1990?  ...

Thanks for the input! So you say that the Philips FIdelio X2HR have more bass than the HD650? I'm asking because I had some listening sessions with the HD650 & DT990 and the DT990 had a little bit more force behind the bass. I don't think the DT 1990 pro have a significant greater bass than the...

Hello dear Head-FIers,   I would like to ask for your expertise on this issue. I'm looking for a new pair of Headphones to use with my NFB-11 and my PC/PS-4.   I'm quite the hiphop-head/gaming-enthusiast, so a detailed openback model with a powerfull bass would be perfect for me.   I was...

Oh and another thing, what exactly does the switch on the backside between optical and coaxial do? The sound itself is nuts tho! :D gg audio-gd

Just got my package :-) I'm just a bit lost on what this little bagy is for?

Base is 305$ but right now you get 5% off for New Year so 290 + shipping to your location.

The downmixing is due to the linear pcm signal, an optical cable can only handle 2 loseless channels because of it's limited bandwidth. With HDMI it's a different manner tho. This much info I could gather, lucky for me as I need a stereo pcm signal through optical :-) With kind regards, Krustaf

And what about the AAC input? As you surely can tell I have no knowledge on the subject, just thought I could finally use my 600 ohm cans with it. *Edit* Just found this on another board "If you are using an optical cable, the cable can only handle the PCM signal as a 2.0 stereo signal...

Would that be okay? There is nothing more to set up I think. *Edit* I'm also able to set the Audio Format Priority to Linear PCM, Bitstream (Dolby) & Bitstream (DTS) if that helps. With kind regards, Krustaf

Hey guys, can anyone of you per chance answer me if the nfb-11 works in combination with the PS4? (It has an optical-out & can be set to audio-output through optical only.) With kind regards, Krustaf

Oh sure thing, so as I already mentioned before I'm quite the hi-fi noob. The DT990 were also my first "quality" headphones but the difference I heard from 32 ohm to 600 ohm via the Essence were bigger than I expected them to be.   The main difference would be the clear details in the...

As expected the 32 sound better than the 600 when directly connected to the Dualshock. However, they pale in comparison to the 600 when plugged into the Essence on my PC.   I think I'll stick with the 600 ohm and just buy a little bit more powerful dac-amp like the Audio GD NFB-15.1 to use...

Alright, a friend of mine would borrow me his Dt990 32 Ohm so I can check it out via the Dualshock, I'll report later on!

Yeah that's a really good question which I unfortunately can't answer yet.   I've done some more research and found out about these amp's:   - TEAC HA-P50 (200$) - Audio GD NFB-15.1 (235$) - Onkyo DAC-HA200 ( 270$) - Pro-Ject Box Design Head Box DS (300$)   They all come with optical-in...

Thank you for the heads-up! When comparing the 793 with the FiiO E17, which one would do the job better in your opinion? And is there any DAC-Amplifier with optical-in that isn't sooo expensive but capable of driving the DT990 600 perfectly fine? (Assuming that I would save some additional...

Hey folks!     First of all, thank you so much for this thread, it's somehow really hard to find reviews from the sd 793ii for me ^^   So I would like to explain my current setup and the problem that comes with it:   I bought some time ago the Beyer DT990 600 Ohm for my pc (Xonar Essence...
