AMP/DAC For DT 770 Pro 80 ohm

[ThomasJacobsen]

I need a DAC/AMP for the DT 770 pro's

i already got a fiiO K3, but i'm not sure they're a good match, so im seeking assistance here.

Im not looking at breaking the bank, and the selection in Norway is rather scarce, so bare with me.

 

Anything from 100-300€ would be allright, i've been reccomended JDS Atom amp+dac but its 400€ here, and a bit too much for me.

 

Any reccomendations?

you dont need a amp and dac for a 80 ohm headphone. your motherboard should be enough

Not true one bit. A DAC/AMP will change the sound that's given to the headphones, whether they are 30ohm, or 800ohm. By the very nature of it's name, a DAC converts digital to analogue. A bad DAC will colour the sound. 

 

An example: I own the M50X, they are a 38ohm headphone, and I can hear a different between my 4 different DACs.

I don't own the DT 770 Pros, so I can't make a suggestion to OP based on it's sound signature, I'm just disagreeing with the fact you don't need one.

I'd recommend the Sound blaster X g6 for more software and more flexibility to how you want to change how the headphones sound. Or an ifi zen dac is also good.

This is false, even the K3 sounds way cleaner in addition to no stuttering, which sonic studio 3 did.

The sound profile isnt a huge decider for me, but i want a dac/amp with volume dial and simply just less disturbed audio, anything you've used thet you're happy with?
