Hello Head-Fi Members!
I picked up a pair of HD600s for $229 the other day and they are about to arrive at my door step. I kind of realized they were 300 ohms after I bought them, which is not a problem for now since I have an old "integrated stereo amplifier" around. I am going to see if that works to drive the headphones for a short while before I step up my game into the audio enthusiast world.
I am currently using the in/famous M50s/LE on my computer and have enjoyed the improved sound quality so far. I have had them for 2 1/2 years and I have broken them twice since then and got them fixed both times under warranty.
I have taken a look at some DAC and AMPS, but some of them look kind of "cheap" to me despite being highly recommended and they are bit pricey. I have also looked at a few discrete sound cards which appear to be more affordable, but the reviews on those types are lacking. I am looking towards mainly buying an amp and will most likely purchase a dac to go with it. However, I do not wish to exceed the price I paid for the headphones on both the amp and the dac. Obviously, I won't be taking the HD600s outside of my home so portable solutions are not desired.
Please comment on your recommendations on dac and amps that pair well with HD600s. (I heard somewhere, tube amps make these headphones shine) As well as you personal experiences with your recommended product and/or the HD600s.
Thank you for taking a look at my thread and I am looking forward to reading your responses!
