Head-Fier
I am kinda new to amps, headphones, high quality music, etc. Been happy with 256 Itunes, but switched to start with to CD's so I can rip the to highest quality.
My setup is:
- Laptop
- Soundblaster E5
- Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohm. Used for about 10 hours now.
- Jitterbug between E5 and laptop, kinda overkill I think, not sure, due to Asynchrone data transforpation protocol USB.
Looking for:
- Amp to amplify my headphone.
The SB E5 can power the 600 ohm headphone easy, but I am not completely satisfied with the sound. I have all Equalizers off (E5, Dolby software). But it lacks some punch.
I do know the Beyers are very neutral with a hint of coloring. But I was thinking to purchase a headphone amplifier and use the E5 as DAC only.
Idea:
laptop --> E5 --> headphone amplifier
Budget about 300 euro. Other suggestions and ideas are welcome. I am here to learn and hear.
