Hi folks,
Newbie here who knows absolutely nothing about headphone amps. I'm thinking I'll probably pick up one of the following headphones in the next month or so:
ATH - AD2000
Beyerdynamic T1
Can anyone suggest a one stop guide to where I can learn more about headphone amps? I don't know if I should be looking at tube amps, solid state amps, do I need a DAC, etc? Currently looking at one of the Schiit amps, but I'm only considering them b/c they look nice. I know absolutely nothing about the real features I should be looking for.
Most of my music is of the electronic variety - downtempo, house, atmospheric dnb, ambient. The headphones I'm getting will probably be used mostly for production purposes (along with my reference monitors of course).
Currently I'm using a M-Audio Firewire 410 as an amp. Would adding a Schiit amp to it be overkill? or even necessary?
Thanks in advance for your guidance!
