I'm using the HD650 with it and only have to turn the pot about 1/4 of the way for decent volume.

Happy new year!

Currently pairing a Creative E5 with hd598 and occasionally hd6xx (650). Would like to get one desktop combo for work. Would Fulla2 be a good budget for my cans? Thanks!

 
What are the impedance and sensitivity of your cans?
 
You can figure this out from specs.

1/4 !?!?!? Jesus christ. At this level im talking to my gf as same time as listenning to them. I always thought hd650 was as hard or more hard than the dt990 250

I'm using my Fulla 2 with HD650s as well and I generally have the volume between 9 and 10 o'clock, anything past noon is pushing uncomfortably loud for me.
 
As I've mentioned before, with the 650s the reason to get a better amp is not volume. If 'loud' is the concern, the Fulla 2 pushes the HD650s just fine. The eventual upgrade to a more powerful amplifier is, in my opinion, about getting closer to the full performance potential of the headphones.

Dt990 sensitivity is 96db @ 1Vrms, hd650 is 103db @ 1Vrms. Either way you shouldn't have to push your fulla to 3/4 volume, there is probably a lowered volume setting somewhere in your system, or there's a problem with your fulla 2.

Well , i really dont know what to say , with my iem ( earbud comming with my iphone 6s ) ..9-10 is really loud.. with my dt990 250 ohm , considering 100% is 5 oclock , the Pot is always at 2-3 oclock  ...
 
foobar is 100%  windows is 100% ... !? should i contact Schiit !???

Why contact Schiit?  The Fulla2 is not defective -- it's behaving as its specs would indicate one would expect.
 
The dt990 250 ohm version has a sensitivity of 96 dB, which isn't real high, and the Fulla2 puts out ~40mW into that load. That combination is not going to get real loud, and the Fulla2 isn't best suited for high impedance cans. But it's not broken.

well , im not good with these kind of thing .. im new to this , i was just refering to what Letmebefrank said ...i dont understand how the hd650 with 300 ohm (I beleive) can play way MUCH louder !?   sry for my ignorance!
 
 
Edit : there is also that guy with the dt770 250 ohm saying hes listenning to the dt770 loud at 11 oclock ... !?!?!

Does the HD650 higher sensitivity than your cans?

think so , Letmebefrank says 103 db@ 1Vrms  , mine 96 .. is that higher !?

 

[MrFranc]

Yes! It produces 7 more db@ 1Vrms, If i'm correct. Not taking in account the ohms difference.

Yes, 103 is higher than 96....

 

[NemoReborn]

oh well , than the

   
Yes, 103 is higher than 96....

 
that my dog was able to figure it out ... the thing was '' higher the number is more its sensitive '' ? or vice versa ...  i worth **** when u talk about these , im a welder , i can show you how to weld manganese tho !

Higher number = more sensitive = needs less juice to get loud
 
Lower number = less sensitive = needs more juice to get loud
 
7dB is a big difference

thanks , will be really helpful cause im actualy shopping for headphone to be good match with this fulla2 ...  so i guess its a combo of both  ohm + sensitivity !?
