I now have my AKG K55 (the only closed <=32ohm available at the time) connected to a Creative Audigy 2 ZS but i can't drive them at their best. Harmonic distortion kills my ears to reach a decent volume and i can't EQ to give it some bass (lost with years) as i'm already at saturation.
So i just placed an order for one iBasso D10 to amplify my audigy via optical/digital or my Creative Zen when i'm away (i can build myself an A class discrete amplifier using line out on D10 if necessary, i really wanted to kill EMI of my pc with an external DAC).
I need a CLOSED headphone that can be used for hours of listening.
I do NOT play games at pc.
I like alternative/pop/dance music but i prefer Monitor flat response and tweak if necessary via EQ (i do some audio recording/editing and need accurate response).
They need to be easily driven by my D10 (100+100mW on 32 ohm).
External noise attenuation is VERY important as my room is noisy (8 fans in pc case + UPS + another pc sometimes....).
Remember that they need to be quite sweat resistant....or i'll need new ones soon.
It seems a good choice would be a pair of Shure SRH840.... anything better for an hundred bucks more? (don't say a D7000... that's a lot more ^_^).
Thx!!!
