Hi
I got the DT990 Pro a few months back (Christmas), but I didn't get an amp with it.
They sound okay/decent, but man; I can just picture these things sounding so much better with an amp.
So, for the longest time I was looking at the E17 the most - with the O2 in the back of my mind every now and then.
Just lately I've been looking into the O2 more, hearing good things, how they're better than the E17 and they're not even that much more than the E17.
I was about to get it when I read that it sounds terrible without a DAC/needs a DAC to work/sound good?
(I apologize if I sound very ignorant, it's cause I am, LOL.)
So, I thought no problem, right?
Well, I only have so much money, and to get an O2+ODAC combo is 285$... so, that's kinda out of the picture now, and now I'm back to the E17.
Basically, can I run the O2 by itself without a DAC? Source being my computer (Mac desktop and PC laptop)
Should I save up for the O2+ODAC combo? (that's a lot of money, even anything past 100-120ish$ is too much for me)
Or should I just go for the E17?
I'm kinda thinking the E17 the most - just because it's been there since the beginning, seems the most simple and it's a Amp+DAC
Also another question: if I was to get the E17 for my DT990s; would I hear only a small difference, big difference, or HUGE difference?
I'd love to hear everyone's thoughts and if someone could answer my question on the O2 without a DAC.
Thank you!
