Proud owner of the DT440 here. I was auditioning the SR80i, MS1 and DT440 and I really like the DT440 the best among this three. It really suits my kind of music (Mostly those lively ones, like rock and live performance of pop music).

However still feel that my PSC805 soundcard or MP3 player do not provide sufficient power to drive the DT440. Anyone here got any suggestion of a good earphone pairing? Budget around RM500+ , prefer portable ones but desktop ones can be considered if the improvements are significant.

Actually I was very close to get the AD700s. In fact I auditioned initially the SR80, MS1i,DT440,AD700s and one Sennheiser which i forgot the model number. I narrowed down to DT440 and MS1i. I usually depend on reviews when getting headphone but I decided to trust my ears and go for the DT440 despite almost nobody here talking about it.

I think everyone is different.

Btw what amp did you pair with your DT440 last time?

Inevitably today I went to Jaben to audition for a amp to power up my DT440. What started to be a quest for a simple RM500 amp has turned into me now saving for a RM1.5k amp....damn...

I fell in love with the Linearossa K3 amp. It brings all my music to life.

And then I plug in the Beyerdynamic A1 amp....bad move....thank god the price tag was waaaay high enough to tempt me from getting it.

Interesting mod here. Looks simple though. But I don't really have crafty hands here. whoever who try it do post their thoughts on any changes to the sound signature.

Anyone here who mod their DT440 can post their results? If favourable my hand also itchy want to try. See how it goes with my Creek amp.
