Got a new pair of DT 1990 Pros as an upgrade from my HD598s.
Currently rocking them with a FiiO E10K but I really think I need to upgrade that as well.
Sound is quite clear and crisp but there's something missing...

Got to listen to them with a Marantz HD-AMP1 at the store and it sounded slightly fuller and wider.
Any upgrade suggestions?
Budget's around 200-300 bucks, but would rather spend less as I'm saving up for a new PC after the 9th gen intel CPUs are released

I think they are both pretty equal for performance, there are plenty of reviews online that could help u determine what u would prefer, I can’t say which is best because i haven’t heard the val.

U can get the Schiit Magni 3 and the new Modi 3 for 200$, that’s a pretty solid upgrade.

DenonFanboyI know a lot of people get those, so I have a question: Is the 50$ difference between the Magni and the Vali tube amp gonna be worth it? As my FiiO is the only amp I've owned I'm open for more suggestions Also - Just noticed that shipping rates from Schiit are insane - 60$ just for shipping man...
