Hi all,
I'm looking for a headphone amp for my Beyerdynamic DT770 80ohms. I assume that I will benefit from having a headphone amp. I want to make full use of my headphones, and I'm guessing a headphone amp will help with this.
I use my DT770s with my desktop computer. My desktop has onboard Realtek ALC892 with an optical output, but I currently have a USB Behringer UF0202 which I plug my headphones into. I listen to FLAC files and watch BluRay movies on my desktop.
My question is whether I should just get an amp for the UF0202 or replace the UF0202 with separate DAC & AMP or replace with a combined DAC & AMP? Should I use the optical output on my onboard sound card?
From my research, I've seen tube amplifiers mentioned a bit. Should I go with one of these?
Too many questions I know, but any help in answering any of this will be appreciated!
Thanks!
