Hey Head-Fi,
I realize this question has been asked many times before - doing my research ahead of time before asking about this has yielded that answer. However, like the majority of threads out there asking for which amp is best for a certain pair of cans, they only talk about driving them and not how different amps will change the sound.
I know suggestions for the DT990/600 are typically the Schiit Valhalla, Little Dot Mk III, M-Stage, some Dark Voice amp, Phenix G3 - but the only thing that's been established with these amps is that they are capable of driving them.
My question is which amp, listed above or not, will do the following to the DT990s:
- Tames the highs - soften is the right word here? (I found them to be a little too sharp, fatiguing)
- Brings out the mids, if I remember correctly they were slightly recessed
- Brings out vocals and acoustic detail (I love hearing the texture of strings)
- Tighter, punchier bass
Music genres I listen to: ranges from classical to dubstep, however I listen to the dubstep end of the spectrum more than the classical!
My budget is up to $325.
Thanks!
