Hi, to start I'm going to say that I've been lurking these forums for a while not wanting to add to the "should I buy these" posts.
But since I got very little cash and I want to make the most of it, I would like to be as sure as I can be about my purchase.
I would like to buy some nice headphones for desktop use (at home) I'm trying to take my music (and gaming) experience to the next level.
I have my eye on the DT-990 which seem a nice price/performance deal, since I'm from Portugal and we don't actually sell proper headphones except for a strict few which are clearly overpriced.
I would buy them from Amazon, and for comparison I would have to pay 20€ more for the HD598, which seem to have a problem with the quality of the headband and offer a slightly worst sound (correct me if I'm wrong) and I also don't like it's looks, but that I could clearly live with.
Now comes the tough part, I believe it's standard to buy an amplifier for the DT-990 do to it's high impedance but I would have very little money left for the amplifier, so I've been looking at the NX1 which seems very well liked in these forums. But now TOPPING started selling the NX2 for 20 more bucks is it worth it? The DAC would be the inbuilt one from my Clevo W355SSQ.
Do you think that my choice of headphones and amplifier is in the right track?
Also I just found out that SainSonic is selling the NX1 for 27.99$ for the next 15 hours, but still I'm a bit indecisive since I've got nothing for comparison and don't know if I should get the DAC.
I tried to be thorough to give you the full picture sorry for the long post.
Thank you in advance.
