Hi there!
As you can see from my sign, I own three very different headphones (MS1i /w bowls, DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm and HD 558) and I power them with a Fiio E9 (not E09K).
I'm quite happy with it, but it has two main annoyances:
- high output impedance (10 Ohm) which doesn't couple well with MS1i and HD 558
- static noise when I chance volume (I know the trick of move the potentiometer back and forth, but it's a bit annoying)
I'm wondering if I could improve sound quality changing my current headphone amp with something else.
I'd like a headphone amp that couples optimally with all three headphones and with the line out to connect my Topping for loud speakers.
Many thanks!
PS: I forgot to mention a budget. I'd like to spend about 200 Euros
