My only concern is how Bright is the Dt 990, in addition I'm debating if I'm going to get a E17 and a new DAP when I get the Dt 990 and Xb1000... just the cans is $450 ish... an E17 and a Cowon DAP brings me up another $300... time to start looking at the 100+ Amps <3,
BUT I can ofc ask you guys, my plan is to have 2 seperate DAPS Head phone combos for Dub Step and Drum n Bass, this is due to the MAJOR lack of the Xb700s in the Mid bass department... so I'm used to an enjoy Dub Step presented via Sony XB, so I want a Dub Step Pair and a Drum n Bass Pair [there ofc is some overlap in between] along with a DARK Dap for Dub Step [which is about all the zune HD is good for] and a more neutrual one for Drum n Bass
I'm thinking I can easily Pair the Dt 990 with the Hifiman for Drum n bass and slap a 32gb SD Card in there and move on with life [which I may do]
The real issue ofc is the amp! Hearing that the Dt 990 can be Overly Bright [kinda like un modded XB 700s sadly] I'm not to sure my E11 or cMoy BB will be able to hush those highs... still it would be nice to have a new Amp that has options for Bass and Trebele, as opposed to my current Dual Bass Boosting Amp set up. In addition I could use a good DAC for my Phone for the rare occasion that I desire to listen to DI Import on the go\
The issue that I sadly have is I don't like music that is not presented with the right coloration. With sound tracks I like little or no color, which I why I have the dt 880, and for Dub Step I like it VERY dark and prefer it to stay that way and lasty sadly with Drum n Bass I like a little more Brightness and Detail along with more impact than soft bass, that said sadly my XBs do not get used with my Hifiman because I don't want a Sound Track to play out of them... because that would irratate me xD
I'm open to any suggestions and atm the Money cap is $800, 2 cans 1 amp 1 DAP hoping to build Sub Heavy With Xb1000 and Mid Heavy with Dt 990 Portable Bass Setups,any thoughts <3
