DT880 Pro and FiiO E12

[Ben McDonald]

Hi, kinda new here but I'm wondering if anyone can help me. Recently I had received some dt880 pro 250ohm and I have paired them with a FiiO E12 running from my phone or computer. I don't know whether I am doing anything wrong but when I turn the amp to more than two-thirds of the volume, it creates terrible distortion which gets even worse when the bass boost function is active. Any suggests of what to do or what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

1- High or Low Gain?
2- Does it happen with different tracks?
3- Can you try with different headphones?

Thanks for your help 
 
1 - High gain is on
2 - Only occurs with songs with moderate levels of bass and higher (or whether its loud enough)
3 - Ive tried it on my only other pair of ATH-m50s but they work great
4 - All the standard cabling is being used

Can you make it happen with your DTs plugged directly into your computer?

When i plug them straight into my computer they are too quiet to show any distortion
