Hi there, yes you can try Solid State amps. Tube amps are normally more laid back.

i'm wondering will Custom One pro came out with Portable version, that will be great.

Some new models just release from their website.
Mostly on lower end range and remake for microphone version

and here i'm intrigued by what they mean "CUSTOM ONE TESLA" lol

Beyer, give us T2! T1.5 is not enough already, TH900 has it!

Yea, Custom One Tesla will be surprisingly amazing, hope the price won't be sky high compare with current COP

T1 is a very high range and good headphone but not easy to drive well. Actually your amp would not be able to drive both K701 and T1 well.
Headfi is more about a system. Using T1 and E1 muse, little dot mk3 is actually bottleneck.
I auditioned little dot mk3 before, it's quite entry level even for big cans like K701, hd600, dt880 and so on.
If you were to keep your T1, you have to spend much more on amp for it to excel. (to a listenable stage, you probably have to spend at least RM2k+-3k+ for the amp or higher)

You can always stick back to K701, upgrade your current amp. You won't be surprise, K701 can actually sound so much better than T1 on your current system.

Tube amp is depends on design. Not all tube amps are laid back, warm and muddy. Also depending on the tubes you use. A tube amp can be fast and a solid state can be slow as well.

Already Pm-ed them, but they haven't reply yet, so try ask here and see whether anyone got idea about it or not.

i believe its a DT 880 pro

I asked liquidgal as she also one of the audio gear seller , she say it looks like it's a dt880 premium but changed to dt880 pro headband ...

Yes, It is the Premium edition, as Pro edition doesn't have the name plate, the headband was from Pro version, as the premium edition headband doesn't last long compare with the pro edition headband.

But from what I see from other review, what makes Premium special over Pro , the most important is the headband that makes it more comfortable than Pro headband?

Then other is just the cable , Pro version is coiled , Premium is sleek, then Pro version is inked on the cup and Premium is use name plate.

Is nowadays new stock of Premium all changed to use Pro version headband by Beyerdynamic themselves , or user change the premium headband to pro headband himself?

I have both of them, here are my opinions,

1) For comfortable wise, the different won't be that much, both offered equal about of comfortable, the headband from Premium might provide slightly softer feeling, however don't worry about it, as Pro version won't cause any painful to the top of your head.

2) Personal taste for the cable, there are pros and cons for straight and coiled cable.

3) Most people changed to Pro version of headband, as the premium version doesn't last long, and it will get sticky over time.

Hope they answered your questions. =D

Yup , totally same as what others said. I like headphone with nice comfort, my head is quite sensitive to even a slight bit of discomfort. Didn't get any headphone that I can use non-stop for 4 hours above. I owned q701, ms2i, AD900X ... not satisfy with the comfort :/ not really like senheinser ... so comes to dt880 , since premium comfort is better than pro , so I hunting for premium , but after deeper search, found pro version last longer ... hmm

so after premium changed the headband , there is no longer any different in the clamping force?

The comfortable is just slightly better in premium version, however the good thing about DT series is their overall headphone design don't focus on single pressure point.
yeap clamping force is the same.

My T90 sound harsh pairing with centrance dacport. even onboard soundcard is better
Any good DAC / AMP intro?

might be dacport giving a sound that doesnt match well with T90, DACPort is quite a bright DAC Amp in a cigar tube size, maybe find some "true" tube amp? Beyer works fine with tubes to showcase the vocals

Try the Beyer A1 A10
