Thanks guys, I indeed have the 250 ohm premium version, I confirmed with the seller and he offered me a refund.
Hey guys.
I just completed the Crack amp over the weekend and l'm loving it. I know it's designed for higher impedance phones so I ordered a pair of the 880 600 Ohm phones today.
I've been using the crack with my ATH A700s so how much of a difference should I expect going to the DT 880 600s?
I know the 800 is in a different league than A700s, but will it be night and day?
I'm happy to report from personal experience that it will definitely be a night and day change for the better with your crack. For giggles, I tried a pair of ad700's with my crack a month or so ago despite the impedance mismatch. It was really anemic sounding, and not at all reflective of the rich and dynamic sound the crack puts out when driving high impedance phones (what it was designed to do). I don't have 600 ohm DT880's, but it drives my 250 ohm version, as well as my HD800's and HD650's beautifully.
Congrats on completing your build and enjoy those new phones!
Talking about another dedicated headphone amplifier that is often recommended with these - Little Dot MK III. I found it utterly disappointing paired with DT880 600ohm. It really killed the life out of them.
I will post lengthy impressions about the combo in a new thread soon. For now, those of you that are considering buying a LD MKIII for their DT880 600ohm - be advised that there are better options around.

So I'm pretty curious: what do you mean by 'killed the life out of them'?
What options in particular do you recommend?
Currently using Audio Gd NFD 12 -> Schiit Lyr -> DT880/600 sounds great :]
DT 880 vs T1?
Hi, I wanted to get the T1 after I was able to test it for one week. I love everything about the T1 and one thing that I enjoyed most is the punchy bass. However, on my way to saving enough cash I got the PRO 900 by chance and I enjoy them pretty much. I will use them for games and bass heavy music exclusively, even if I get the T1.
So I was wondering if I can't save some cash and if the DT 880/600 would suffice for some authentic/real/neutral sound to relax to after work for mostly Jazz, Classical and Pop like Adele.
I had the DT 990 which I didn't like at all! For the sound signature the bass was just too emphasized and the highs were lifeless and pronounced. I'm sure I'd dig the 880s more. I just wanted to know how else the DT 880 can compare to Beyer's flagship.
I'd much appreciate any opinions.
