Hello everybody,
I just got my combo beyerdynamic dt 990 pro + fiio e10k and I was pretty happy about it, loved the sound and all.
Few days ago I tried the headphone with my amplifier yamaha a-s201 which is connected to my turntable, cd player and tape deck and they sound much much better than my fiio with mp3/flac. Maybe the fiio has not enough power to fully drive the dt 990 pro?
I was thinking, if I buy a headphones amp, can I connect that to the fiio and have more power and better drive them? Because as a dac i was happy with the sound of the fiio, maybe with headphones amp and the fiio as a dac i could really drive the beyer at their full potential.
My idea was: buy the schiit magni (3+ or heresy? They go at the same price on the schiit website), connect the fiio to the schiit with a 3,5 mm out the fiio and the rca into the magni. Is that possible? Is it a good idea? With this setup will I have a noticeable improvement or will be more or less just like now? I am just a newbie on the audio world and I'm not sure how to move.
Sorry for the long post, and my english if there are any mistake, not my first language. Cheers
