Finally found my cans that are meant for me!

After trying the DT 770's, HD598's, AKG Q701's, I finally got my DT 990 Pro Limited Editions in the mail and oh my lord do I love them. Their clear and crisp the bass is there, not as much as my 598's but close enough the mids are a little recessed but that's totally fine because they still sound great. I will be ordering the Silver ear pads as these black ones are actually not the same even though beyerdynamic says they are! I just wanna say thank you to everybody who has helped me along this journey! I'm glad I finally found a pair of cans I fell in love with and can't wait just to get off work to listen to them again! I just need to upgrade my power source so I can truly hear them!

The moment when you finally find something you can live with long term is great! It took me a few months and many thousands of dollars in orders and returns to find mine (Fostex TH-600).

 

[ChriffeR]

The only flaw I can find with these cans is the treble is extremely loud and over the top so I have to knock it down a little in the EQ, other than that they're great

 

[thejammonster]

Same issue with the TH-600 but I had to have that thumping bass. I went to a tube amp and different pads + headphone mods to get them just right

 

[ChriffeR]

Yeah I only have a sound blaster z sound card atm, I think with the right power source these will produce more vibrating bass than my 598's, 598's are super easy to drive so I think thats why they have a little more bass

I went Schiit Bifrost Multibit & Lyr 2 at home but on a budget the Magni 2/Modi 2 ($200) or the Uber variety ($300) would rock your world, and be good for years to come. I have the Uber stack at work for IEMs and love it equally.

 

[ChriffeR]

Yeah, I wanna get the Magni 2/Modi 2 set-up, easy to set up right? Just usb to pc, and the two together

 

[thejammonster]

Yep, USB to Modi, RCA (I use the Schiit 6" cables) from Modi to Magni, 1/8" headphone in to Magni. The Uber variants have more inputs on the Modi and more power + speaker pre-amps on the Magni.

I wonder if it would be noticable as far as the difference from my sound card. I wanna pick up a new microphone like an AT2020USB+ so I may hold off and use the soundcard for awhile

 

[thejammonster]

If you don't have noise issues and you can get the 990s loud enough you should be fine. I use the Rode NT-USB and its amazing! A good alternative to the AT-2020
