I just recently tried my Denon d7000s and AKG k701 on a full sized amp and I just KNOW that I have to buy a desktop amp now. What I tried was a Music Hall ph25-2 (Shanling ph3000). The amp just made my music sound just so real. The bass was also fantastic on my Denons.
What I have been using is just an Ibasso D10 amp/dac through my computer optical out. I have been looking very hard for headphone amps but it's been really confusing. People recommend the Heed Canamp but I am worried that that amp will not sound good with my Denons. I am also wondering if Hifiman EF5 amps would be just as good, if not better than the Music Hall/Shanling. Should I save up some money and go for something else that would benefit both headphones? I would prefer to spend around $400 and not much more than $800 if that extra cost is worth it.
Btw, I find the bass of my Denon's through the Ibasso to be kind of weak. I like to play it through my Cowon S9 instead of my computer for bass enjoyment. =/ Could anyone please give me some recommendations? It will be much appreciated.
