Romeo and Juliet style? Can I be Juliet?

 

Sure and sure. Although we're going to need to have a talk about me always topping in this relationship.

Losing battle, but such is life. 

Not really. Just take your business elsewhere where it's actually welcome. I'm sure you, of all people, should know that.

The Xonar DG has a headphone amp. So nothing.

It measures identically to your Xonar, and its built as well as an O2 will be. If you want to over spend, go for it, I'm not stopping you. You are just another person who gets pushed through our system here, and I could really care less. 

These DT770 PRO sound like complete shit on the Xonar DG. I purchased a o2 amp and dac after using them on the Xonar for about 1 hour. Truley some of the worst sounding headphones ive ever used. I hope the o2 stuff makes them sound better.

 

They sound boomy and distorted when I turn them to the maximum volume on the xonar. They are OK when at half volume, but any higher and they start to sound bad again.

Amps don't change headphones.

Yes they do.

 

I also ordered the O2 DAC.

 

I have ordered them as sepperate units so I can return the DAC if the amp fixes my problem.

Yes youre right. The amp will have no effect on the way these headphones sound in any way at all. I dont know what I was thinking when I payed £180 for both of these useless metal boxes with dials on them. i shall return them straight away and continue using my Asus Xonar DG.

Its hardly a huge expense.

 

If it makes no difference or I change my mind I can just return them anyway.

LPT, replace the headphones, as they are the part of the audio chain that determines how things sound.
