amping on any headphone brings significant changes, now lets put this fact aside

dt770 has some sharper trebles but in comparison, COP has a smoother treble

the amount of bass in dt770 varies among ohm version, i took 250 so it requires quite some juice to have it sing, COP has no problem and is very amp- friendly

the only dt770 that pro reviewers think is a keeper is the anniversary edition 32 ohms

besides, who doesnt like the COP bass adjustment, it's just plain fun to have it

May I ask what amp that you use for the DT770 Pro 250 ohm?

i used to use O2 amp or the cricri+ with it, both perform differently

I'm wondering which amp will be the best for driving this headphone.

cricri+ for the better bass and mids

o2 for the better clarity and balanced sound

I'm using Fiio E7 right now. I feel that the bass are kind of lacking in terms of layering and body. I also felt the treble aren't as clear, it's not transparent enough. I'm more of the detail freak than bass freak, but I'm still both. I also never forget the sound of the MS Pro and HE5, it's like magic. I hope can find an amp that can bring out this headphone to the potential because I liked the noise isolation it offers. If not I have to upgrade headphones....

There are 2 issues you are facing assuming you do have a really good source (FLAC, ALAC etc) in the first place.

The FiiO E7 at 16bits/48kHz is one and the Beyerdynamic DT770 being closed is another.

Is your Beyerdynamic DT770 the 250ohm version  hmm.gif

Yeah it's the 250ohm version.

Weird, I plugged the beyer directly to the iphone5, I feel the sound is much better than using the fiio E7 with laptop running the same song.

How does the Beyer T1 sounds if compared to headphones like HD650, Hifiman HE5, Alessandro MS PRO, Shure SRH840, or DT770 Pro 250ohm. These are the only headphones that I still vividly remember the sound.

Does the T1 really need good amp to shine, for example if plug it on mobile players it'll sound horrible like that.

I don't think any audiophile cans above 32 Ohms should be driven directly from an iPhone without an amplifier. Even if it is a DT770 running at 250 Ohms. You will get volume but not the dynamics to truly showcase what the headphone is capable of. The T1 is a very capable headphone and with a high current amp. You'll be in audio nirvana. If your budget permits. The WA7 and the T1 is a match made in heaven.

How does T1 compared with the HE6 and SRH840?

The T1 runs rounds round the SRH840. The HE6 however. Is a different story. If I could keep only one headphone for home use exclusively. I would opt for the HE6. But that would be exclusively for home use. Because the HE either needs to be driven by seriously powerful headphone amps or speaker amps. The cheapest headphone amp that I know that can drive the HE6 is the HiFiMan EF6 which is USD1,499. Along with the Cavali Audio Liquid Gold USD4,000 ALO Studio Six USD3,900 and the RSA Darkstar USD3,999 to name a few. Or speaker amps. So you get the idea that the HE6 is exclusively for home use. But if I were to only have one headphone for the do it all in terms of desktop and travel then it would be one of the Audezes.
But in terms of the SQ, the T1 has a very good soundstaging and sounds oh so good for live songs and live recordings. The HE6 however has a speaker like presentation to it. That you see many guys who win the HE6 are actually HiFi Guys for them to use at night because they can't listen to their speakers at night.
But I wouldn't recommend the HE6 unless you really know what you're doing. Amping the HE6 is a nightmare. And it was for me too in the beginning.

I only heard HE5 before, it was at jaben and using Hifiman amp. the sound is just heaven drool.gif
