Can I drive a 250Ω headphone on my PC without an amp?
Energycore replied to KyberKylo77's topic in Audio
As an audio noob that just started getting into the audiophile experience, I can tell you that you don't NEED the amp, unless you have volume problems, to have a good sound experience. A DAC and Amp can enhance the experience quite a bit, but if you jump to that now you miss the step of enjoying the quality of the headphones themselves first. I own a pair of Sennheiser HD 6xxs that are 300 Ohm, and I enjoyed them a lot for a year before even thinking about an amp. Then I got a decent dac/amp though not great one (The Monoprice 111567), and I LOVED the difference. You need to already enjoy listening to details before an amp will become a life changing purchase. That's what I think. P.S.: I actually think the effect of the DAC was more awesome than the effect of the amp for my 6xx. Their color was already nice when I used them without an amp, and the change in the clarity of the lows was noticeable but not as eargasm inducing as the MASSIVE improvement in stereo image that a higher quality DAC can give you. Again, this is all info I've gathered myself over a relatively short time. Hope it helps. -
Huh. Didn't know this week was foregone conclusion week.

I commend you for your exquisite taste friend. My gut says anime designs were human made but who knows xD -

Not trying to suggest anything crazy. I just think it's not impossible -

What if you already have? -
Are you telling me you live on the Internet and you don't know how to use Photoshop

I feel like the RT hype kinda tapered off some time after Cyberpunk exited the spotlight. Did I mis-analyze?
-
Interesting owo. Does it look significantly better?
-
Cyberpunk was ridden with bugs, performed terribly on any hardware that wasn't 30 series, and generally didn't get a good reception, unfortunately.

You know what, the flop of Cyberpunk 2077 really put a stop to Nvidia's Raytracing hype train
-
Fair point. I guess that's your daily driver. You still probably haven't played a game with RT yet
-
You don't game on it, why do you care about RT

in my case, it's more like not using RT makes the shadows flicker, so it's more of a band aid than a benefit

hmm... perhaps because there's no games that are being hyped right now i reckon?
not too into the gaming scene to know about it
DLSS is being hyped right now on the next switch i think
i ran switch emulator on my PC and boy does it look horrible when blown up to monitor size, hope DLSS helps it in that regard

Congrats bro. Still waiting for mine
-
Holy shit I would not have noticed that lol

And I honestly think this $440 experience is AMAZING and I don't need anything more for a really really long time. EDIT: Wait, I paid $300 in total (ish) for the 6xx and $140 for the amp (should have been $99 tbh)
-
I've spent about $500 on audio equipment, and about $3000 on computer stuff

I got a monoprice 111567 According to many, it's not a great amp for the money today (it's a little dated and not that amazing). I think I agree with that. It's got some distortion issues and you HAVE to use the high-gain mode for headphones over 100Ohms (my estimate) or it can't keep up. That said, it works really great in the high gain mode. I actually thought it was broken until I found that out, so definitely keep that in mind if you have issues with a new amp. If you live in the US, you have A LOT more options for DAC/Amps.

I really need to rehaul my audio setup, my speaker's left channel is ded and my earphone's earcup fell off, it's holding onto faith and double-sided tape now
I'm also using a 5 meter 3.5mm extension, horrible
