I need an amp, I'm thinking something around $200-$275 for my A900's, and DT770pro's. The source will be a Creative Audigy ZS2 soundcard. I know I need to upgrade my source, but, that will come later.

Don't see the point of keeping both these phones. And don't even think about an amp til you ditch that [size=xx-large]POS [/size]Audigy.

lol
an audigy2zs is still better than any modern low price sound card. neither of those cans need much juice, a small amp would do you well. like a little dot 1+

p.s. make sure to get the latest daniel k drivers that unlock many features on the audigys

Would the little dot power the 250ohm dt770's? Sorry if I didn't specify that.

Do those drivers work for windows 7?

couldnt tell you about the drivers and windows 7.

i used the amp with 250 ohm dt880's and it worked very well

The A900 does not improve too much with an amp. Just speaking from the prespective of the A900, a source upgrade would be a much wiser use of your money. I can't speak too much for the DT880 except it is pretty power hungry.

That looks like a great investment. I think that is what I'll do. THANKS!

Does the I/O drive have an amp in it?

Idk if it is or it isn't, but, I found that I can just the my front panel on my case and get little to no interference and still use the headphone amp. Thanks a ton!
