When the DT880 (600 ohm) is driven by Woo WA2 (OTL) with RFT EZ81, TS 5998, RFT ECC81 it is certainly not a ‘mid-fi’ headphone .

Tidal on Mac > iFi ZEN DAC Signature > iFi ZEN CAN > Beyerdynamic DT 880 600 ohm [ Balanced ]
Running a Beyerdynamic DT 880 600 ohm fully balanced out of the iFi ZEN stack.
Suffice to say, the ZEN CAN powers them with aplomb. Incredibly effortless sounding with plenty of headroom available.
Other amps I’ve paired the DT 880 with include the Drop + THX AAA 789, Monolith Liquid Platinum, and Schiit Valhalla 2, and let's just say the ZEN CAN doesn't leave me wanting in the least.
As far as mid-fi open-backs go--Sennheiser HD 650, Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro, Hifiman Edition XS, Massdrop x Focal Elex--the DT 880 600 ohm are easily my favourite by far and stand head and shoulders above the pack to my ears.
I think that's the internal temperature of the DAC. Maybe to give you reassurance as to when it's sufficiently warmed up? Truth be told, I haven't even looked at the manual yet. Kind of fun though, I think.Why does the Bricasti show temperatures? What temperatures are those?

Ooh, I'd love to hear more about that Egoista 2A3. Also, do you use the Solista for headphones as well, and if so, how do you like that one, too?
Only thing left now is a pair of J Money Beyer pads for that extra small % !That is why I had it modified by ‘jfunk.org’ (Custom Cans UK) to detachable cable: which is now Lavricables Grand Silver:
