I posted this in the wrong place and whilst I did get a couple of replies, I figured it might get more traffic here... Mods, please delete my earlier thread (in Headphones Full Size):

Hi all. I 'think' I need to add a set of these to my collection... I currently use a first generation Matrix Audio M-Stage as my headphone amp and I wondered if anyone here had any opinion as to whether it has sufficient clout to successfully drive the 600 ohm version or would I be better with the 250 ohm version of the DT 880s...?

I currently use Sennheiser HD 650s, AKG 701's, Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro (80 ohms) and Bowers and Wilkins P7's.

I don't 'need' another set of cans. But I'm crazy...!

Any opinions?

Also (if I may), do you think that a Schiit Lyr 2 would be a worthwhile 'upgrade' from my M-Stage? I currently have my eye on a used model... Or am I being even more foolish...?!

The tile should of course have read Beyerdynamic… (fat fingers...)

I would definitely get the 250ohm. Sounds much better to me. More vibrant and better for rock and electronic music. If you like a lush calm sound for classical music than I would go with the 600ohm.
