Didn't you just get a headphone amp?
I did but this one is for my laptop, when I'm on vacation mostly.Freezer7Pro wrote:

They aren't very expensive compared to other cans-126€ is what I would pay in my favorite headphone selling store (HD600s were 200€)Freezer7Pro wrote:
It's the biggest number, what can go wrong?
No seriously, with good brands, the biggest number always works as long as you have the cash.
126€ certainly isn't bad if they live up to what the site says..Sup wrote:

I want something different to try out, they should give me a lot of detail since these are studio cans

Not technically today but i couldn't find my digital camera.
Couple of things i bought for myself. Sound quality out of the AD400's is so much better then what i got from my 5 year old HD497's.

Some cheap crap i bought to build someones computer with. I really couldn't be bothered to invest any time so i basically went with what fit the price and what i could find easily.

No doubt. Irony being that i've come down with an inner ear problem so i can barely hear out of my right earFreezer7Pro wrote:

When that gets fixed i'll be in business though.
2x77mW into 16. Nothing to brag about, but good enough for lighter phones..Sup wrote:

I'm asking cos theres a Xonar card out which has a headamp but not sure exactly which modelFreezer7Pro wrote:

Then its a shame he didn't get that instead. Even the earphones sound better with a standalone amp.Freezer7Pro wrote:
Essence STX.
Now you're just being picky. The DX gives about 2x40mW into 32Ω, which is more than enough for normal listening levels. The hardware in the DX is good enough to keep sound quality decent without any distortion even on max. volume..Sup wrote:

additional amplification is never about volume... I thought you knew that...Freezer7Pro wrote:

Amplified crap is still crap, you know. If he's listening from the computer, I'm quite certain he can obtain whatever colouration X amp would produce through software. The Xonar is more than capable of outputting a completely flat wave from 5Hz to 30k. What more could you want?.Sup wrote:

So you're saying Essence is crap? And I'm pretty sure those cans require more than 35 ohms to get the most out of them (check specs to be sure)Freezer7Pro wrote:

Heh. You think I buy amps cos I'm deaf? Its all about the quality of an amp. Good amp->good sound. Theres also gain. A good amp will sound great on low volume.Freezer7Pro wrote:
And how can amplification not be about amplifying something?

I'm not saying the Essence STX is crap, I'm saying it's made for heavier phones. His new phones are 32Ω, and thus quite light to drive..Sup wrote:
