I'm currently driving my Ultrasone Pro 900 directly from my Yulong D100. It's an awesome DAC with a totally decent built-in headamp, but it's VERY transparent, bordering on cold. I like my DAC as transparent as possible, but for the Pro 900's I'd love a slightly warmer presentation. I'm not...

Hi guys,   I recently became interested in appreciating music as opposed to listening to my Ipod out of the default Apple earbuds.  I've done some reading but still have lots to learn, so please bear with me and pardon my silly questions.   I started out with the AT M-50s after reading...

Alright, so I have had the M50s for a couple years now and I love the sound.  While in my Audio Engineering class, however, my friend let me listen to his Denon AH-D5000 and I was blown away.  One of the first differences I noticed right off the bat is how open they sounded (duh, they are open...

My T1 is one of my favorite headphones ever. I like the Beyer sound signature (also own the fantastic DT 880/600 ohm and the DT 1350).   But when i watched some photos of the disassembled headphone, i noticed that the T1 has no dampening material, only plastic.   This is different from...

thinking of purchasing the DT880 600Ohm version... Currently own a HP-P1 and a E7/E9 combo...   I generally use the E7/E9 for the desktop computer source but also spend time with my HP-P1 when i am commuting or not in front of my computer...    I guess my question is does these two drive...

Girlfriend got addicted to this hobby thanks to my ms1000... But I of course won't give it to her.   The k240s looks oh so beautiful, and it is quite affordable. Just wondering how would they fair against each other.     Need to take my ms1000 back from her!!

Hi, I've been lurking these forums for the past month figuring out what to get as my first set up. Last week I finally decided to get the audio-gd nfb-12 and a pair of dt 880 600 ohm headphones. I just started listening to this set up and I noticed when I have the volume knob past 1 o' clock I...

Firstly,   I recently purchased the Beyer DT-880 (600 ohm) and love them for what they do best, analytical and neutral sound, but would like a pair of complementary headphones that are just fun to listen to.   I've auditioned the Grado 325i and read various reviews. The Grado sound is...

My (classical) music loving friend is hard to move on spending his hard earned $.  He has a very nice Rotel CDP which I've listened to using a Benchmark DAC1 & HD 800 headphones so can verify it is good quality audio coming out.   However he baulks at spending too much but I think I've...

Hey,   So my brother - without having any idea what he was getting into - approached me about getting some headphones. Now, normally I'm the one trying to get other people to put down their mainstream, sub-par audio equipment, so naturally I jumped at this chance. Before anyone gets the...

As my title stated I was wondering which Amp to get. My current set up is Audio GD NFD 12 --> Lyr or Woo --> Beyer dt880/600.       Thanks for looking and helping a fellow audiophile out 

Hello all. What are my best options for amp and dac for said price range for my Beyer DT880 600 ohms? I will be using them out of my computer. (No soundcards please.) As long as it is transportable (smaller than a stereo receiver) it will be fine. I'm looking for something that is bang for your...

My current setup is H|T Omega soundcard -> Schiit Valhalla -> Beyerdynamic DT-880 (600 Ohm).   I know that the Soundcard in my case acts as a DAC. I will invest in a seperate DAC (any recommendations are welcome assuming you know your stuff) to upgrade my chain which is just leaves me with...

  To Start…   There are a lot of amps out there that use exotic topologies and expensive parts.  Even “budget” amplifiers try to get in on this game.  Too often, that practice fails and you end up with a “transparent” amp that is anything but.  Or an amp is made that trades reliability for...

Hey guys, Currently in the market for a pair of headphones that I can use everyday for gaming. I don't want to put any extra wear and tear on my ATH-AD2000s or my recabled woody Denon D2000's. Also I already have a pair of ATH-AD700s for positional audio FPS like CS and the likes. I'm...

After reading a bunch of threads on different DAC's and AMP's, I have started to lean towards running 600 ohm Beyer DT880's with a DACMagic and a Schiit Valhalla. Anyone try this combo, or have any input on whether it will compliment the Beyers?   I don't want to "colour" the sound too much...

Hi All,   This is Zombie_X chiming in here. I have started this large information thread to help those who want a beyerdynamic headphone, but do not know what they sound like and or trying to pick one to suit their set-up. Since I have heard all of the models from 32Ohm-600Ohm's in their...

Bottlehead Crack + DT880/600 ohm, good synergy? 

Beyerdynamic Manufaktur DT880/600 vs Headroom stock DT880/600?    Does the Manufaktur sound better than the stock? The Manufaktur site charges an extra $100 WITHOUT any customization done yet. Why, is it because of the sound?

Any beyer fan knows that the DT880 comes in two styles: stock retail ($240-300) and Manufaktur through their website (about $400+). They're the same headphone. But has anyone noticed any difference between the two otherwise? The reactions to the custom's sound seems so outrageously positive...

Does anyone make 600ohm or higher hps besides beyerdynamic? Thanks!

Hello everyone. I've researched for months and have had several changes of heart, but I ultimately have decided that I will purchase the Beyerdynamic DT880s and use them as my main stationary listening phones to complement my hd595s. The dilemma I face is knowing which version to buy, and I have...

Ok fellas, I know these cards wont bring the best of these DT880's but, I am limited by $. I have tried the Xonar DX (stilling in my htpc) and it sounds great with the DT880;s. My question is will the Xonar DG be a better choice to the DX? I have about $50-60 to spend.   I know the DG has a...

Hey all!   So, I'm aware of the distinct possibility that this question has been asked and answered like 8 million times before, but after some light searching I couldn't find the answer to my specific question - so here I am!   I've decided on getting the DT880s, and I would like to get...
