Hello from Russia!
Currently I own Beyerdynamic DT880 headphones (old ones), but I'm suddenly not happy with them anymore. So there are several missing things for me:
- First of all, I want more clarity and details in sound;
- Then, the musicians seem to sit in my head, but I prefer them to play in front of me;
- And the sound is felt like veiled or may be dull. So I'm eager to hear more pure and, possibly, honest sound.
Source is E-MU 0404 USB, all the music are ripped in FLAC from high quality CD's. I like a lot of different kinds of music, but acoustic instruments (like pianos, guitars or violins) and vocal (either male and female) prevail. Just in case here is the specification of E-MU headphone amp:
Headphone Amplifier
Type: Class-A power amplifier
D/A converter: AK4396 (shared with Line Out)
Gain Range: 60dB
Maximum Output Power: 20mW
Output impedance: 22ohms
Frequency Response (20Hz-20kHz): +0.06/-0.035dB
Dynamic Range (A-weighted): 114dB
Signal-to-Noise Ratio (A-weighted): 114dB
THD+N (1kHz, max gain): 600ohm load: -95.5dB (.0018%)
Stereo Crosstalk (1kHz at -1dBFS, 600 ohm load): < -85dB
Thank you in advance for your help, and sorry for my poor English.
Oh, I'm going to spend on it up to $800, but due to higher price in Russia it must normally cost under $600.
Looking forward for your advice.
