my new love is the beyerdynamic DT48a
altho its the grand daddy of headphones

Good stuff!

the grand daddy is still one of the best

Sorry if this has been asked before, but what's a good amp for the DT880 250 around RM800? I will use it with my Ipod and Asus Xonar DG for gaming so I'll want to be able to use Dolby Headphone if possible. I'm looking at Über muzik Tiny Tube DAC, Maverick MagicTube A1 or D1 and Govibe Peak.

Thanks

i would recommend the tiny tube DAC/Amp for DT880/250. however if your main purpose is for gaming, i'm not sure how suitable it would be.

I should have mentioned that my main use is classical music on my Ipod.

Thanks

ahhh like that the TTD would do fine. you know that you need a LOD and a mini -> RCA interconnect too right, to use the TTD with your ipod.

and one more thing to point out is that in this case where

ipod->TTD->dt880/250,

you're still using the internal DAC of the ipod and not the DAC on the TTD.

Ah thanks. Do you know how the Govibe Peak is with it? Also, is it possible to use the TTD as an amp without the DAC on a computer? Or is it possible to use Dolby Headphone with the TTD on my PC?

Thanks

Peak has a V shape sound, with bass emphasis. with the bass boost on, it leaks into the mids.

it is possible to use TTD just as an amp without going through the DAC (TTD has a line in function) but it would probably sound better using the DAC in the TTD than your onboard soundcard.

Dolby headphones with TTD is not possible as TTD only supports 2.0 sound.

if you have any further questions regarding the TTD, please drop me a PM to discuss.

Anyone know if there is a place I can audition and possibility buy the Schiit Lyr or Woo Audition WA2 in KL?

dont think there are any shops carrying them, but couple users have them, belanja them kopi starbucks, and have a listen to it

Thanks

Which headphone you are going to match it with?
T1 matches quite sell with SPL Phonitor on test
It will also do smoothly with Yamamoto, with a little bit too smooth sometimes.

Am planning to match it with the T1. I have tried the phonitor a while back but not with a T1 combo. I heard from forumers here and headfi that the T1/WA2 combo is a great match. I've also heard good things about the T1/Burson combo. Havent read or heard anything about a T1/Schiit Lyr combo.

Open up a road for the people behind you~ for example me
so we can know what combo is good and whats the combo offers

T1 Burson is a bad match trust me. I really doubted the reviews here now.
It makes the both ends edgy. Even Portatube+ is much better and smoother.

I had a short audition (15 mins) of the T1/Portatube+ combo and Burson/T1 combo....at the AV Show....was noisy so hard to get a good assessment but initial impression was the Porta/T1 combo was more to my liking...

if you like the T1/portatube combo, then don't bother with the lyr. Go with the WA2 combo or other tube amps.

It is true that T1 will match better with tubes. More smoother and palatable.
I also hooked it with yamamoto and it performs well.

then we shud try and bug @akabane, to bring his yummy unit to jaben to test it with the t1, hmmm, sounds like a plan

wala : anytime nxt month coming down kl?

No plan yet... I might have to travel to foreign soon though...

tested today galaxy s3 to drive the dt770 250 ohm, sounds quite decent, actually quite good, didnt expect it, was thinking of maybe like mobile phones will give quite weak power, s3 made me change my mind, you should try it, people with s3 and dt770pro 250 ohm

The new ipad also has some good sounding...

Lol volumes at 80% for ipad to power my dt880 250ohm isnt exactly what i had in mind of proper pairing...sounds abit flat

If compare the sound quality gs3 to your sansa clip which one you like most?

hvnt done the comparison, later maybe

i don't think the T1 + Burson 160 / Soloist is that bad a match. the Burson amp lacks a little body, making the T1 sounds a little thinnish but if you're looking for a very clean and precise sound, the 160 or soloist will give you that precision and it wouldn't be dry by any means.

If T1 pairs well with Tubes, I guess maybe T70 too? Tryin to find a "value" tube for my T70 as well. Tired of driving it straight out of Dacport LX.

Dry isn't the word, but since the 160 is a no-nonsense amp and the T1 can easily be harsh and metallic, the burson makes the T1 very very harsh indeed.

I did try the T1s with a DNA Sonett and they were pretty much on par with the worlds top dynamic headphones with that combo.

The difference and synergy of amps sometimes can be a hair's breadth apart, and sometimes its due to psycho-acoustics, or even individual emotions.

if you are looking for the tube sound, most beyers do pretty well with tube amps.

for value, can consider bravo tube amps, they serve as a "not bad" option

I was kinda avoiding tubes because I wonder if they sound like "distorted". And it's a totally different kind of amp to me, rendering me not knowing where to start. Maybe getting bravo or other cheaper alternatives will help. Tubes...Tubes...Heard they make audiophile recordings "shine"!

lets just put my last bulk into action, to let u know the influence of tube

i made a bulk, targeted to be only for 5 units, retail sold 1 or 2 units, and then the virus spread like "resident evil", and my bulk became a whooping 15 units, it even gave a stun to suppliers,cause they hardly manage to make 15 on a short notice, but they did, congrats on that. since then, i did not see any of the people who bought that amp selling it off, instead all are showing off~

So poisonous are the tube amps?

it does match well with beyers, no doubt, even on the cheap ones like bravo, rule of thumb for tube sound is warm mid, which is what beyers are good at also, so it's a great match

only if you like warm mids. otherwise you'd find them to be colored with all sorts of shades.

hongrui, what kind of "shades" do you mean? So, warm mids=good for vocals and other lower fq instruments? Bon Jovi suitable onot?

its up to your individual taste. by colored in shades i mean that you won't achieve neutrality, transparency with tubes. not impossible to achieve though, with careful tube rolling and matching, you can still achieve neutrality.

main drawbacks of tubes: loss of PRaT, treble roll-off, lack of bass depth, loss of details and placement.

advantages: musicality, naturality, smoothness and lushness of sound.

i listen to everything with tubes, pop, rock, jazz, metal, orchestras etc etc. ultimately, its what kind of sound you are looking for.

+1. I can't wait to get a tube amp..

I kindda liked T70. It drives easily with most of the amps. Maybe due to its lowered impedance compare to T1. Although T1 when drive well it will fly you up to the heavens, but investment is quite high too.

I also have the same feeling with wilzc . T1 is not easy to find a matching amp. With burson's powerful presentation, it just added the harshness. Try Fostex HP-A8 32bit DAC + amp. It drives quite beautifully just that I cant find enough gain that time.

Agreed, each person has their own preference. Tube and SS is a totally different world.

This post has been edited by walabies: Jul 31 2012, 11:26 PM

sorry but i must respectfully say that the HP-A8 is a much much better DAC than amp although the amp is Jaben KL is practically brand new and probably needs a couple of hundred hours to run in although i doubt it will sound like much.

hey guyss,

I'm looking for something very comfortable for long hours & sound quality is given the highest priority. I enjoy bass but not excessively bassy. I listen to a variety eg. kpop, english mostly ballads like Demi Lovato and Adele, Chinese songs. Do you think DT231pro is a suitable choice given my tight budget?

Thanks

should be good enough for casual listeners

Yes, for long hours, not only the comfortable you have to factor in. You also need to factor in the soothing-ness of the music that it offers. Like some sort of 'peace of mind', no piercing highs, no overemphasis bass. DT231pro, yup it will satisfy you.

i got a PM from PCWork that day that he is working on a mod for beyer heads, we shall see how it goes, i'll be the first to support him

DT 880 Pro/600ohm. btw why sometimes my govibe magnum amp produces distortion ah? when i adjust the power cable only it dissapears

what type of mod? cables? Anything for the T1?

i think he modding for the non-socketed DTs, and also finding some cable to match pair

Hmm, is your AC supply stable?

If not please bring it to us to check.

Okay thanks I'll get it while Jaben is still having the bundle promo haha

DT990 pro 250 is it good? havent try this.

yes... but i bought the govibe magnum from Jaben SG, so im using a universal adapter. could that be the prob?

Yup, good bass, huge soundstage, a bit bright treble. Are you looking for this type of signature?

I see, it is best brought back to them to check.
The adaptor will have some effect as I know.

Hehe.. this is what i want. Many thanks.

Then you should be contacting me...

@LanDi: or consider my bravo package, i might sell off if the dr150 is not as expected (which i doubt it)

Im still waiting for my WE396A tube and Tung-Sol. Got to whack this up with my old cans.

New tubes to spice up your old cans?

Beyerdynamic has the sound of god!

Yes boss. But Beyer still on my list.

Audition!

No doubt, it sounds heavenly for some people.

I just realise Beyer headphone T70, T1 is hand crafted. and DT880, DT990, DT770 drivers are hand crafted also!! Woot Woot!

Yes, Their drivers are all hand crafted and T70, T1 are all hand made!

not many companies nowaday will still keep the production line in their home country.
So you can see how good the quality will be.

Germany engineering ftw i feel like getting items, Beyer got any?

Yes Beyer has got iems

the XP series 1, 2 and 3

Yup, there is it here: http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/2472360/+20
