Hello People,


 


I have a Yamaha home theater receiver (RX-V430RDS) and I am planning on buying the Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 ohm.


I've been using the receiver for over a year now (mainly for watching movies). I can drive headphones up to 560 ohm.


Will it be good enough for my headphones or is a headphone amplifier better?


will a headphone amp really be an improvement, my budget would be 50 - 100 euro.


 


 


I am still a noob in audio and would like to get some help


 


Thanks in advance!

I would say definitely get a headphone amplifier, preferably something with tubes (like the ALO Pan Am).

Sure. Why not?

A headphone amp might be an improvement. The problem is the market is saturated with low-quality, herd-mentality, flavor-of-the-month, look-at-my-shiny-tubes junk.
