Has anyone tried pairing the DT880's with any of Garage1217's products? I'm looking to get a Polaris and I'm curious as to how the Beyers synergize.

Yes, dt880 synergies well with all the garage 1217 stuff imo.

So I can be able to use the Schiit Magni as an amp with the DAC of the Microstreamer to power the DT880 600 ohm well?

Defiantly. Imo, you don't need the uber so you could buy the Magni and save some bucks to put forward to your next amp.

The dragonfly to magni is a great suggestion, I did that for years. Microstreamer is supposed to be same kind of thing, but I have not hear it.

I hope you`re not implying that the more money you spend the better the headphone you get because IMO MANY headphones are WAY overpriced.

No. That's not what I'm saying.

That's true, but the drivers are highly pads and comfy. Mine touch the drivers, but it is still the most comfy headphone I own.

I agree. My ears touch the driver as well but it doesn't bother me the slightest bit.

Good to know! What G1217 product have you tried them with?

Do they go all the way around the ear or are the earpads on the smaller side?

No. That's not what I'm saying.

 
No offense.
Just curious.
 
Some people do that you understand....

They do go all around the ear - at least with my ears.

All the way yes, they are pretty big.

FYI, I have tried 880s with Polaris, Solstice and Starlight. All good to great.

Do anyone here tried 250 Ohm version with Fiio E10K? If yes do they have enough power to drive them?

Yes it will drive them fine and has just enough power to do so. If you want something with a little more output then the Schiit Fulla would be a better choice than the E10K.

Really Bro?
Nice amp but all their stuff is so damn ugly...

Please tell me you're joking

Well the Aluminum plates look a little better than those cheesy Lexan panels, but it's still a wide open dust magnet though.
The open sides gives it an eBay "Cheap Chinese DIY Kit" look, which I don't care for considering the amp is $440CAD landed here in Canada.
 
 
If it is to your liking then enjoy it by all means!

Problem with this aluminum case is that it's $50 more expensive than the transparent acrylic one.. and that one is ugly. 
 
Oh well. Ugly things do sound better sometimes

My personal feeling is MANY FOLKS ON Headif buy amps because they look cool or are trendy amongst certain folks.
