[Edit] Im an idiot, didn't read the welcome message. I'm going to ask over in the help and recommendations sub. Sorry.
Hey everyone,
I got a pair of IE80s a few months ago, and I am looking for some sort of amp to drive them. I am currently using my Xonar Essence STX, which seems to be really good, but recently I've been reading threads that say the high output impedance (~10ohm) is a bit of a problem for low impedance headphones. I was thinking of stepping up to something like them Objective 2/ODAC combo. Is this something I am going to appreciate coming from my current setup, or is it just a waste of money?
Thanks!
P.S. I also use a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50s, when I feel like a pair of cans.
