hi, guys.
I'm going to get dt990 soon.
What's the main diff btw 32 and 250ohm?
I auditioned both last night,32 sounds more noise to me.

32 ohm means it can be driven easily, i.e. just plug and play to the source, like iPod.
250 ohm sounds best if it's driven by a dedicated headamp.

But as a full-sized headphone, not many people will bring DT990 out.
I suggest u go for 250 ohm and try get a good headamp.
You should try to listen to 600 ohm, lagi shiok!... hehehe! tongue.gif

I'm using DT880, 250 ohm, bought 2nd hand as no money to get the brand new 600 ohm.

Just back from Jaben.

I auditioned 600ohm, it's less noise and the music sounds more depth.
But the price is SGD499, 100 bucks more than the 250ohm. sweat.gif
Somemore I will be using it with Ibasso Boa (250ohm) or CrossRoads Edge Amp (600ohm), don't think either one is powerful enough for that monster. doh.gif doh.gif
So at the end I bought the 250ohm (SGD399 come with CrossRoads Amp) smile.gif

Thanks for the feedback. biggrin.gif

Tried Beyerdynamic A1 Headphone Amp + DT880 250ohm just now.
It's like WOW...very impressive in almost everything.
Uncle Wilson offer me special price, SGD1500 ...sweat.gif sweat.gif

Also tried DT990 250ohm, don't know why i feel the treble is abit high for me.
it wasn't like this during my first audition.

crossroad edge is good amp imo but its lack in driving those 600 ohm cans
gave distortion at 1 o clock volume when pair with my dt 880 600 ohms but they rock with 250 ohm dt880
IMO it is well built and look small for desktop amp not to mention cheap and affordable ( it is a ss amp btw)
well u can try with beyer a1 which is i think way out of budget but it heavenly match with any beyer cans ( a class A amp ) drool.gif
have u try the heed canamp as well? Drive my dt880 like a breeze and my hd650 as well
i think it is affordable for price and 1 of the best amps outthere (class A amp as well)  brows.gif

Yeah, I tried it for 10 minutes.
Tighter bass to my ears.
How much they selling the Heed?

yeah, actually i got the same 'treatment' but still not feel quite comfortable with such a good customer service. tongue.gif


a bit update of my dt880 with Heed canamp.
the heed just reached 200hours point, the different is quite noticeable(compare to yesterday).
tighter and quality bass, better soundstage, better details in overall sound.
it's so sweet!! wub.gif
