@quote.. Haven't heard it with the O2/ODAC combo, but a brief listen to the FIIO E12 certainly added better PRAT and tightened the bass, soundstage also widened a bit too. This was compared to the IPad headphone output.

if you will do ranking here which will come first? 32? 80? 250ohm?

Can anyone compare these to the Beyerdynamic dt250s?

 DT250 are popular in recording studios, you may see famous musicians wearing them during sessions. 
I had DT150 that are said to have the same drivers but deeper cups. They are not balanced and sound worse than DT770. For me the most noticeable about DT150 was not enough highs, less than DT770 80 ohm which also lack in this area, and less subbass than DT770 32/80/250 ohm. Center is not as recessed as in DT770, middle bass seems to dominate overall sound, soundstage is smaller than DT770. If listed from brightest and airiest to darkest and most closed-sounding it would be
1. DT770 250 ohm
2. DT770 32 ohm
3. DT770 80 ohm
4. DT150 250 ohm
 
DT150 I only had in 250 ohm option. I had them at the same time with DT770 80 ohm and 250 ohm.

250
32
80
 
Though many people complain about harshness of Beyerdynamic DT770/DT880/DT990 highs. For those I would recommend 32 ohm version of DT770 as nr 1. For me the problem dos not exist and 32 ohm version sounds to me castrated (ouch!) in high frequencies at times but this is comparable to what Sennheiser/Audiotechnika/AKG offer but not Grado.

DT770 are headphones which let you hear the bass line of So What by Miles Davis better than any other closed headphones, they are good for rock, any instrumental music. They probably suck with electronic music.

I'm wondering more about how much a dac effects it than I am an amp.

I was thinking about getting the O2/ODAC combo for my pair, how much does this improve sound quality? (I listen to all lossless files)

Do it! I have the O2/ODAC combo at my desk at home and it is a very nice match with the DT770LE!

Nooooohooooooo the LEs rock pretty hard with Infected Mushroom and 4-on-the-floor music, they really let you feel the bass when they are well-amped, which doesn't take a huge amount; my Microstreamer does the job admirably.

No. Quite to the contrary actually.

 

[migasson]

I concur awesome with electronica... Photek was exceptional thru the phones

 

[Ultrainferno]

Yes, very enjoyable for dance. And rock!

 

[migasson]

Ooooh, yes, rock too

 

[Gilly87]

Yeah the LEs are a pretty good all-rounder if you ask me. I love good mids but I would be ok with just my LEs and SE215s.

Here's my portable setup, dt770's with Fiio E12 and Ipod 5th gen on life support... Great combo though
