I haven't ordered the phones yet, but i've pretty much decided i need some kind of amplifier , as i'm reluctant to running even 32 ohm/high SPL cans out of a soundcard headphone-out, let alone 80 or 250 ohm ones, and my speaker headphone out is full of hum, hiss and the such.
I'd be using the whole stuff mainly for rock, beginning with 60s pop (i.e. Beatles) and ending with heavy-metal, but also for some symphonic, acoustica,etc.. Still, the main thing that would go through the setup is rock, with its endless variations.
I'd like to know if the amplifier mentioned above is a good match for those cans, in your opinion and to your ears. I love detail... would this combo provide a decent amount of that, being fed signal from a, say, Chaintec AV710? If there's a better solution, i'd like to know about it, but, from what i've read...
What opamps should I use? Can Headsave's owner ( i get that he makes the amps) tune it further than that, in accordance to my prefferences?
Oh, and another thing ... It says on the headsave site that the power source is optional... Can i still use the amp without that 24V power source (does it have an integrated one?)
