Would this combination sound good, audiophile good? Also, would the fact that the audio (all my.songs are in FLAC or WAV lossless) get distorted or be effected in any way by the fact that it is going threw the clip's AMP and the fiio e7?

    I was hoping you would be able to help me out with this...   I am fairly new to the head fi world and have read many, many posts about this topic and just can't figure out what would be best as far as making my headphones run great. Most threads I am coming across are fairly dated...

Well I just ordered a Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250, and am wondering what AMP and/or AMP+DAC would be good to pair with it.  I have tried researching it and so far have mainly heard either a cheap tube amp off of ebay + DAC Destroyer and the other option is the Fiio E17 but the problem is they are...

I have just ordered the DT990/250ohm and I have a xonar DG PCI sound card. I was planning to power these with a FiiO E10 originally but thought that my xonar DG would perform better as a DAC so I would only need to power it. However I am a bit of a newbie to audio and not sure which method would...

I've recently purchased some new cans and thought I'd share my impressions.    Gear:   15" Mid 2012 Retina MacBook Pro (10.8.2) Kawai CA95 Digital Piano   DACPort FiiO E09K Onkyo SR607   Beyer T1 (600 Ohm) Beyer DT-990 Premium (32 Ohm) Sony MDR-V900 (24 Ohm) Bose QC2...

Love the phones, hate coiled cables. I could solder a new cable on in a heartbeat with my Weller but I was thinking of something more posh. Where might I find something like a mini XLR jack to mod the 990 pro to have a removable cable?   Has anybody had luck doing this before?

So Ive been using the Dt 990s pros for some time and i decided to invest in a dac/amp. My budget is 200, but the lower the better. The main one I saw was the Maverick AudioTubeMagic D1. I was wondering if its any good. Another one that I found was the Matrix M stage. I know its a little over my...

Just got these yestarday and from reviews I have read they need an AMP to sound great.  I mainly listen to J-Pop and Anisong + gaming on my computer.  From looking around the forums the Fiios seems to be within my budget of $100 give or take a few bucks.  Are the Fiios my best choice atm given...

Okay, I like these headphones a lot. Comfy as hell, doesn't really heat up my ears or make them sweat, sounds great, etc. The only thing I don't like (and I mean this in the lightest way possible) about these headphones are the highs. Well, I LOVE them because everything just sounds so...

Will my soundcard with no amp work with these headphones. I will use them for music like electronic and rock, but mainly for games like Counter Strike and BF3. Answers and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I found an old av receiver around the house and I was wondering if it can power the beyerdynamic DT990 250 ohm. I was looking at the spec information on the yamaha website and I have to tell you that I am confused if this is a decent option or not.  Here is the page  ...

No luck searching the forums for an answer so I'm posting here. I could figure it out by the process of elimination but that would take a lot of extra work. I hope someone who knows will respond.   Which terminal is positive and which is negative?   Thanks  

Brand new, got them for a great deal, but I feel like the deal blinded me from understanding what I was truly buying.   These are 600ohm headphones, and all I have for an amp/dac is my fiio e11 & mbox 2.   I'm glad that these headphones are awesome, but on the other hand i feel like I...

I've been having my DT990 Premium (250ohms) for a while and loved it a lot. Now that I have a bit extra cash ($200-300), I'm about to invest in my next headphones. I'm not not looking for an upgrade but a pair of cans that complement my DT990 and brings some new listening experience. Here's a...

  Help guys. I'm pretty new when it comes to audio. When I was searching, a lot of people recommend getting DT990 for trance and electronic music. I have Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10, Audio-Technica ATH-M50 and FiiO E17. I'm thinking about selling my M50 and upgrade to something better. I'm kinda...

I really planned on using a FiiO E7/E9 combo for a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohms version. Would it be enough to pull out it's full potential?

This is my initial impressions on the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm. I plan on updating this thread multiple times as I add more information and get to know the headphones better and compare them more with my other headphones. I'm using the HiFiMAN EF2A(stock tubes with around 30 hours...

Just wondering if, based on the above "chain", there would be any need to buy a "better" sound card like the STX or Titanium HD?   I *think* the answer is "no", since the U3 is the "DAC" and provides Dolby Digital Live for surround sound gaming through the headphones, and the O2 drives the...

Hey all,   This is my first post in this forum, I've lurked for a little while, still not entirely sure this is the place to go. Sincere apologies if I've gone to the wrong place, but similar threads were posted here from my searches, so it seemed right.   My girlfriends ES7s cable has...

I like the DT990 Pro's sound a lot. Is there any in-earphones or closed back headphones that are similar? I want to be able to listen to something like the DT-990 Pros anywhere I go without annoying people :(   Thank you.

I think I have decided I want to get some beyerdynamic headphones. I fell in love with them when I tested some out at CES this last year. But I cant decide on on if I want to go with open or closed back. and If it is worth it to spend the extra money on the Tesla series? Anybody have any input...

I've been asking around the forums for a couple days (or weeks) now for the best gaming headphone for me, and I have narrowed it down between the Q701 and Dt990 250ohm. First, I will be using them for: %80 Gaming, %15 Music, 5% Media FPS isn't a huge deal, but I would like to have better...

HI im pretty new around here ive never really owned a real pair of decent headphones and i want to invest in a new pair Ive seen some really good reviews for the DT990s and can get them for 285 or I went to my local shop and they had the sennheiser HD650s and the HD595s i tried these two...

Anyone know if Beyerdynamics sells replacement cup bearings (the part surrounds the grills) for the DT990?

Hey guys my main usage for these headphones is gaming, I mainly play the Arma2 zombie mod DayZ which uses the Xaudio 2 sound engine also the occasional Battlefield 3, CS: GO and the odd bit of music listening but am I really getting the best out of the dt-990s with my current soundcard the...
