Hi all!
Going back to closed phones, and following a great experience with the Kenwood KH-K1000 (why the hell did I sell them!!!!), I've ordered myself two potential cans :
1) Audio-Technica ATH-A900, and
2) Denon AH-D5000
Both of these are pretty low impedence, but I've read that the D5000 in particular likes a lot of current.
I was happy with the Kenwoods unamped, but kinda feel that it would be a shame not to amp the Denon...
Has anyone any experience of either of these cans with a portable amplifier - did it make a worthwhile difference? Which ones have you tried? Would also be interested in USB DAC functionality, but that's not 100% necessary, so would be happy to get just an amp is it was worth it
