Hey all,

I've pretty much settled on my first amp being from iBasso after doing some research. However I don't know which model to get - I plan on getting either a Senn HD555 or HD595, which are going to serve as my intro to music.

As such, will getting a top-tier amp from iBasso really matter, or will I not hear much of a difference between these models? I'm eyeing the T4 for now, but if I would hear a noticable difference with a higher model. Thanks ~

Hi and welcome to head-fi.

Im not sure if you will hear much of a different between the T4 and a higher model if you're only using it to to drive a HD595 or HD555 imo. The HD595 or the HD555 doesnt really need an amplifier but it will sound a little better when properly amplified so if you're only using it to the drive a HD595/555 I think the T4 should do.

Good luck choosing your new rig!

Thanks for the tip - that's what I figured, other than being under the impression that 595's really needed an amp (according to a sticky thread)...

an amp will do very little for the hd595, provided you're talking about the 50 ohm version. there's an older version of the hd595 with higher impedance.
