For I think 4-5 months ago I bought myselft a pair of DT990. And I was aware of them needing a AMP, and I coulndt get a better price for the Nuforce HDP i came over. I didnt know though that It wasent the best match mixing HDP/ICON with DT990, but I took an advice from here and turned 8khz down a bit. Then I was all happy agian, cause it did sound very good and still does.
But, the thing is, since one or two weeks back, I have read around a little. And this forum can really do som twists in the brain if you read to much . And the twist is that it all have to started sounding dry and thin and maybe a little bit grainy. And this is not some change in sound or break in, it just my own perspective of how it should sound.
Its not that that I dont enjoy my cans anymore. They have that soundsignature im looking for and I do not think that a HD 650 purchase would be the better option for me. What I do think is that Tubes may be in its place to make things right. I really have no experience in tubes more than what I´ve read here on head-fi. But everyone keeps telling about the DT series + tubes being a great combo.
So what ya all think. Should I go for tubes? Or do you suggest other cans? Neverthless I need some advice then. Wich Tubes should i buy?
Thanks.
One more thing, I read that Nuforce HDP should be getting source from the optical/coax input instead for the USB. If that is the case I need to get a decent cdplayer to = )
