Just received my D2000. Mixed feelings, i must say. The biggest surprise so far is when i connected them to my PC via auzentech xplosion card, it really sounded like sh.t.
No volume, no bass, plain bad. And i thought that this card was better than on-board solution.
Then, even bigger surprise-i connected D2000 to macbook's audio output and it sounded better, louder, cleaner. Way better than $100 POS card called Auzentech xplosion!
And finally, i connected D2000 to my Denon receiver and things finally started to be as they should-great sound.
So it seems that Roker is right- these cans need some sort of amplification, they don't sound great "when plugged to almost anything", like many others have said.
My problem is, i want to use these mostly on with my PC, not with receiver. I know there's plenty of portable amps and stuff, but i would really to upgrade soundcard instead of going with some external solution, if possible.
I heard many good things about Asus STX/ST cards with build-in amp. Is that thing powerful enough for D2000? Anybody uses this combo?
Thanks in advance.
