Hey guys, new on the forum.
 
Yesterday I received a new pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 pro 80 ohm headphones. My initial impressions were that the headphones had good sound except for the bass which seemed like it was non-existent. I continued to listen to them for a few hours and I just couldn't grasp the fact that alot of people said that the bass was almost overpowering when I didn't hear a thing of that. So I tried my soundcard on my computer which is a Asus Xonar D2X/XDT and the bass didn't improve. Then I tried my surround amplifier and got the same, then I decided to try my fathers Pioneer A-91D and just wow. Now I understood what everybody talked about.
 
So now I need some help with choosing equipment.
 
I listen to music pretty much all the time so I want something that I can take with me without being to much of a hassle.
 
Up to now I have been using my Samsung Galaxy S2 with my in-ear phones and that have worked out fine but now I don't know if my phone is gonna be able to give me what I want with just an external amp.
 
So now I'm asking you guys to help me out with my problem.
 
I don't have a big budget right now so I would prefer if you could recommend me something that would be affordable and able to drive my headphones.
 
Thanks

FiiO E11,  FiiO E7 (DAC/AMP, a lot weaker than the E11), JDS Labs Cmoy OPA2227, FiiO E6
 
All your choice really.

Thanks, I've been doing some thinking and I think that I could settle with using my headphones only at home and use my other pair when I'm not at home.
 
So if I want something that I would use at home without considering ability to move around, is there an amp that I should buy or is it better to just buy a FiiO E10 and use it with my computer?

FiiO E10 for a DAC/AMP combo at a budget price.  It does not have 24/96 according to technical tests although it claims it, but is limited due to the implementation of hardware inside.
 
I would personally get the JDSLabs O2 and a FiiO D3 and get a RCA to 3.5mm interconnect + spdif coaxial/optical cable.

Okay thanks for the help but due to availability in sweden I will go with the FiiO E10, I think it will suit my needs and if it won't it will be easier to return it if I get the product here in sweden.
