Is a UMC22 good enough for DT 770 Pro 80 Ohms

Hi everyone ! I'm going to buy the DT 770 Pro 80 ohms headphones and I wanted to know if it needed an amp/dac. I currently have a Behringer UMC22 for my AT 2020 XLR Microphone and I wanted to know if it was also enough for the DT 770's. If no...

Audiophile•Aune X7S Balanced Headphone Amp

His desktop setup is okay -- but not from an audiophile perspective. The monitors are junk (which he admits), no USB regeneration, no name interconnects, mid-fi Stax (with a plastic cover, lol), his low-end Matrix amp. Basically, what most Reddit and Massdrop "audiophiles" aspire too, including the non-ironic use kid's toys as presentation aids. I don't have a "desktop setup", but rather a...

Audiophile•Massdrop x Fostex TR-X00 Purpleheart Headphones

Okay, coworker brought in the HD6XX that he just got this weekend and is letting me use them for the day. Initial impressions after a couple hours and switching to my modded TH-X00PH (stock ones are at home...): The HD6XX does have a certain 'veil' to the sound, not muffled, but like you are very aware you are listening to a recording, while my TH-X00PH sound very 'live'. This is more...

Hello! I am new to the audiophile community, and just ordered my first pair of decent headphones, the Massdrop x AKG 7XX. I will be using these along with my MacBook Pro Retina Late 2014 (w/ Toslink) and Spotify Premium HD Streaming. I have h...

Audiophile•Focal Elegia Closed-Back Headphone

Used ones go for $400-500. While I love their bass presentation, the Elear has a tuning issue I can't get over - their wonky highs with hyper presentation of detail is just too much and really bothersome to me [and that is with my warm/smooth leaning DAC and amp setup being used: Gustard X20U DAC and modded H10 amp]. A friend let me borrow his Elear for an extended time, so I had over a full month audition with them putting a hundred+ hours...

Audiophile•Massdrop x Koss ESP/95X Electrostatic System

The ESP950 is not comparable to any STAX. It's much more comparable to a Sennheiser HD6XX, but with less bass - noticeably rolled off on both ends, mid focused, somewhat soft in its presentation, no subbass to speak of. Nothing like the punchy, more forward, and energetic L300. The ESP950 does have good clarity, speed, and detail, but not to the level of the L300. Subbass and midbass are...

Audiophile•Koss ESP950 Electrostatic Headphone System

Got them in last night and have been listening to them since. Tried on the Vesper pads, but am very dissapointed with how they sound - don't like the change in sound they give, seems like they introduce some reflection/reverb and are slightly harsher. Also seem to introduce a very slight, HD6XX like veil to the sound. Overall think the Vesper pads, even though more comfortable and help bring out more bass, are a detriment to the sound...
