Hey guys

 

I am going to be buying the Beyerdynamic's DT990's very soon (http://www.amazon.com/Beyerdynamic-990-Premium-250-Ohm/dp/B00193FT26/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1443694128&sr=8-2&keywords=DT990) and need an amp to drive them through, just wondering if you guys had any suggestions.

 

I am looking at the FiiO-E10K (http://www.amazon.com/FiiO-E10K-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B00LP3AMC2/ref=pd_bxgy_267_text_y)

 

Cheers!

Hey guys

 

 

 

Something like the cheap Syba dac + amp could be a good little buy, I doubt you need anything super expensive for those

I know nothing about DAC's and AMP's just heard they are a bit fussy

Cheers guys, since I am kinda going all out here.. It will be a huge difference over my krakens, I'll buy a nice amp/Dac (the one I linked in the post) and be done with it.
