Definitely get a DAC if you are using those cans. But what amp are you using?

He already have one in his computer... :rolleyes:
ps: I know you meant dedicated external DAC but this is so misleading for newcomers.

I refuse to call Realtek chipsets a DAC.
They are not 'converters'; they are digital to analog noise emitters.

Final addition, sounds sublime now now i just need 200 hours or so of burn in.

In my opinion burn in is unnecessary. You might start to hear some differences after a time, but that's usually just the fact that your getting used to the sound signature.
Otherwise most burn-in happens in an extremely short amount of time, almost always in the factory it self .

I think burn in with solid state amps is just a waste of electricity.

Sorry i meant burning in the headphones, i need to start being more specific on here lol

In my opinion still useless. If I were you I'd do the burn in while the cans are sitting on your head, saves electricity.

Without space - I am lacking the elegance of others - but I have my amps and the phones are on the left in the book shelves - HD600 and DT 880(600 ohms)...Amps: for listening: Ray Samuels HR-2 and for music editing: MOTU Audio Interface Hybrid mk3 II. The DAC is the Yulong D100 via optical. I also have an X-fi Titanium sound card Champion Series...My speakers are Altec Lansing 5.1 but they are not very good...

Well im still running this setup.
 

 
Bit instead of using these

 
I now have this

 
I also changed the monitor cables from these

 
To these

 

 

 

 
Next is certainly a headphone upgrade, been listening to the 240 Studio's for a few years now and i think its time for an upgrade.

I wonder, what were your reasons for changing the cables.
Now they do look excellent, btw. Personally I hardly ever look at cables, so I'm fine with rubber.

Inside that tiny little PC is an Intel i7 875K cooled by an Antec Kuhler 620 (yes it fits!) and clocked to 4.13Ghz and graphics card is a Radeon 6970 (that fits too! )
everything else pretty orgdinary, 8GB DDR3 and 120GB SSD, using on-board sound atm but i'm planning on getting a USB DAC. Ignore the headphones i got some Denon D7000's coming today.
 
Oh and 42" Plasma for a PC monitor lol

I think it mainly about the fit and finish of the system, the 3.5mm to twin XLR was was DIY can cost less than $20 to make, as for the JIB reference XLR cables i managed to get both for very cheap, in fact i probably could not have made similar cables for what i paid for them.
 
At risk of starting a large debate that does not belong here i can hear differences between these cables and the cheap generic cables that were there before them

Attach a hole saw or even a large paddle bit to a drill, problem solved

I am renting this apartment so any permanent changes will probably aggravate the landlord. So it has to be this way...I guess whoever designed this - intended it for laptops...
