I currently have a pair of dt770s the 80 ohm version, I like them a lot but have nothing to compare them to since it is my first "high quality" headphone. Im really still new to high end audio and such so I'm not 100% sure on what im looking for. I would like my next pair to have more bass but still have rich highs, I would also prefer a low impedance pair because I do not own an amp. I would be using them in my house so I don't have a preference between open or closed backs but it seems like open backs would have a weaker bass but I have no idea. The only pair that I have really looked at is the denon ah-d2000 which I do think suit most of my needs but again the only things I have listened to are my dt770s and like apple ear buds. I am open to most suggestions and the most I am looking to spend is about 250-300 dollars for the headphones and an amp if needed as I don't have an amp or DAC.
On the other side of things, is it a better idea to get an amp/dac combo at around 150-200 instead and use it with the dt770s (keep in mind I have the 80 ohm version) instead of getting a whole new pair of headphones? Also I have never had an amp so I am trying to stay away from tube amps as I have no idea what tube rolling is or anything about tube amps for that matter.
Please leave suggestions for amps/headphones for me any input would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Zack
