Are they good for gaming movies , do have the 650 im just Questioning myself
Hello everyone, I got a pair of hd 598s a few months ago. Now i would like to get a dac for it (if it makes an appreciable difference). I read through some other threads and I noticed that people recommend the Fiio E10K which seems excellent. But there's a huge impedance spike for the 598s,so keeping that in mind, is the Fiio E10k enough to drive them to their best?
Also, the Fiio has an output impedance around 1 ohm and my phone has output impedance of 2.5 ohms (oneplus one). As I understand it the hd 598s will benefit from as low an impedance as possible. They are plenty loud, but would the sound quality difference be appreciable?

@iamaheadfier I have the HD598 and I used to have the E10K. It was a pretty good sounding combo, and I don't think you could go wrong with it..
I wouldn't say that the E10K would drive them to their full potential, but that's only because I've plugged in my HD598 to much more expensive gear, way above your $200 budget (as you said in the other thread). And I do have to admit that at this point, there really isn't as big of a difference as one might think compared to the E10K.
Go tell in Factory of every Headphone Company they will laugh .
