Hi, thought I would finally join on here after a long time lurker.
I've been researching much over the past few months, as I'm after some new headphones for gaming and listening to music. I have some HD555's at the moment and after much reading I want to go for the DT 880.
Now I know theres loads of talks about STX powering 600 ohm, and some are saying its to cheap to do so correctly and recommend a £500 amp and others say it powers them absolutly fine. I really don't know what to do. I don't want to buy a soundcard for £150 and headphones for £200+ to find they are not being powered properly.
Or do I buy a cheaper soundcard and say the NJC Monitor II?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also about buying the 600 version, is this website ok to do so as they are the cheapest I can find and they said they would get some in stock in the next few weeks
