Well, i tried the dt48s with my little dot I+ (tube rolled with sylvania gold tubes), but there was no synergy whatsoever. I tried different albums, all well-recorded, all albums I know well, but the overall sound was the same. the dt48s sounded muffled, clarity was gone, it was as if i was listening to an old am radio. That's a bit of an exaggeration, but this is not a happy combination. they are just not made for each other I guess, which is a pity. Luckily i still have my solo with which the dt48s perform wonderfully. Would love to hear them a tube amp, but it will have to be another one.
Surprising. What you describe, sounds like what I get when I plug them into portable devices, i.e. underamped. But you would think that even a basic desktop hybrid like the I+ would do a better job. Pity. A while ago I was contemplating to buy a I+ for them, now I'm glad I didn't.
