Best Amp for HD-595?
Jul 31, 2007 at 12:40 PM Post #2 of 25
Newer 595s are 50 ohms, are you sure yours is 120?

I have no experience with amps, but general consensus is that the cheaper amps don't really make a huge difference to the 595s. Tube amps are recommended for better performance.

My DIY is the best.

I built it for my HD 595's and have been selling mostly for HD595 owners but I woudn't sell it for only 100$. It's semi-portable (battery inside, belt clip). Links available in identical topics already created.

iBasso T2 should work, although I never tried mine with hd595. It might be too warm to combine with hd595, but never know. Generally best idea is just to get a source with strong output for hd595 unless you can afford something big and chunky like a Darkvoice. (I got best results using hd595 either with Darkvoice 332 or E-mu 1616 dac/amp, both with different results).

hmmm, i used to have the xm3 (virtually the same amp) and previously had the 595s. i don't recall ever actually pairing them but i'd guess it'd be a decent pairing. the 595s are not that demanding.

I have to say that I absolutely love the Darkvoice 336i with my 595s. I've only had it for a day now, but the difference is incredible.
