Hey guys! 

I recently got the Beyerdynamic DT 880 Edition (250 Ohm) as a gift and I'm trying to figure out which AMP/DAC combo to buy.

I just laid my eyes on the Aune T1 MK2 since it is on Massdrop right now...

Do you guys have any other recommendations what to get for up to around 200$ ?

Pretty quiet even at max volume. They are even more quiet if plugged in to the motherboard than to my phone.

Then get an O2.

Le monoprice amp/dac!

 

DAC isn't needed, might as well get the best amp possible for the money.

Same case as mine then. My onboard sounds good (no hiss, static, etc), just can't get nearly loud enough. Ipad actually sounds louder than my onboard. In that case, yes, you'd need an additional amp.
