Hello, head-fi
I am looking for an amp to drive my DT990 pro's since I keep reading you would really benefit with an amp for these cans..
Since I have a Xonar DG card (which apparently has a decent dac for the price but can't fully power the dt990's amp-wise) and I like to use the dolby sound or gaming (and a dac would apparently override the soundcard), which one would make the biggest difference, a dac or an amp? Also which one?
(I've read good things about a few amps like the Tubemagic A1 by Maverick Audio, and the Little Dot MKIII. The Schiit Magni & Modi are a solid choice too, everyone says).
Also, I don't know much about how amps work. What exactly is the difference between a tube and a solid state amp, and what is tube roll of?
Thanks in advance
