Hey there!
I bought the DT 880 Pros some time ago, and I'm more than happy with them. So far I've been driving them with a NIKKO vintage receiver, but the problem is that I have no direct amplification for my PC, where all my music is stored (I bought the NIKKO for its phono preamp, to listen to some vinyl records I had at home). Apart from this, my PC's motherboard has a very crappy integrated sound card, so I wanted a desktop DAC/Amp with a USB connection to get some clean and clear sound out of the Beyers.
It could be a solid state or a tube amp, I don't mind. Regarding price, I don't know what my budget should be in order to find a nice combo for $300 headphones like the Beyers. It would be nice to see some analogue RCA outputs to connect it to the NIKKO, if I wanted to use my speakers, as well as dual headphone outputs if possible.
Also, I should note that I like neutral sound; the DT 880 Pros are kind of bright sounding, so I wouldn't want a bright sounding amp to pair them with.
Thanks for the help!
PD: would Maverick Audio be a good option?
