DAC Headphone Amp Recommendation Please

[humax]

Hi All

Can anyone please recommend a DAC Headphone Amp that would be suitable for a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro Headphones - 250 Ohm


Thanks Guys

To be honest my DT 770 Pros have always sounded a bit flat to me with no real beat to them....

It's surely possible that "Supreme Fx" hyping of Asus is just marketing BS and actual implementation is worser than what Realtek codec alone in reference design would do.
Because DT770 certainly shouldn't be flat with its strong rumbling bass of closed design and likely some "Beyerdynamic treble".

What's the use (gaming/movies/music?) and do you have for example also speakers in PC?

Hi

I use it for Music and i don't have any speakers. At the moment i am playing some AC/DC and it just sounds dead with no volume to it

Get a FiiO E10K from the jungle site for about £60. Try it and if it does a better job than your onboard audio, it'll be a decent cost effective choice. If you notice no difference compared to your onboard audio, then send it back.

If there is no difference, then maybe time to look at different headphones.

Hi

Just had a look at the FiiO E10K and it says its Suitable for headphones impedance between 16 - 150Ω Will that work for 250 Ohm

As above; it can drive headphones with higher impedance than the rated 150 Ohms. FiiO are quite conservative when it comes to power output of their devices.

I've got a FiiO X1, which specifies headphones of 100 Ohm, but it does a pretty decent job of powering my 300 Ohm HD600's.

Would that be better than something like a FX Audio DAC-X6
