E9 + DT990 + Mixamp 5.8 will work fine
Hmm...
You should connect always PS3 -> optical cable -> E9 -> HD-600
But seems you are not using mixamp, so maybe it doesn't matter at all
The E9 doesn't have an optical cable input
A 3.5mm male to male cable runs from the E9 to the mixamp. Your headphone connects to the E9.
I have a dumb question out there for anyone who's willing to answer it, I just need to know if I can improve SQ by improving my set up
right now I am gaming through my
PS3 with the HDMI hooked up to my Samsung TV
I have the TV's 3.5mm jack plugged into my E9's line in
and my HD-600 is connected
Am I doing this right?
Indeed. My setup is:
PS3 -> toslink (optical cable) -> MixAmp -> 3.5mm male to male -> E9 -> DT990
From experience of my friends on another forum, all 3 DT880s lack rear positioning in FPS. This comes from people who have owned different ohm versions at the same time. I've only owned the 32ohm, and a friend who owned the 32ohm and 600ohm said they sounded similar in most aspects, including not being the greatest at rear positioning. 250ohm/600ohm owner said the same. If FPS is a priority, I'd look elsewhere. Otherwise, the DT880 is probably the best headphone for overall use and balance with some slight emphasis on bass and treble.
