I finally purchased some new headphones. After using my Sony V6's for the past 10 years I thought it was time for something new. I've lurked around here and settled on the Beyerdynamic DT-990's, 600 ohm version. Got them today and they sound great.
They sound good connected to the av amp but not great and I find they actually sound better connected to my PC via my USB Lexicon alpha sound device that I use for recording music. It seems to have no problem driving them, volume knob is at about 30% and its loud enough.
When I have them connected to the amp the quality isn't as good as the lexicon and the amp also has some hiss. I hear no hiss connected to the alpha
Any suggestions on what I can do to improve my experience with these? I looked at different DACs and headphone amps but haven't decided on any.
