I have experience using several good headphones (K701, HD650) amped and unamped in the past. At the moment, I happily use a set of 250 Ohm 770s straight out of a MBP. Sounds fantastic. Does this trigger you?
- jkot 12y agoI do it sometimes as well, I would not call sound fantastic, but its ok for movies and remastered (flat) music. But so does $120 Major. I just think it is really bad advice. Why buy expensive headphones optimised for amps without amp? Just waste of money.
- frou_dh 12y agoWaste of money is something that makes marginal gain. BadPhones -> GoodPhones is a much greater step than UnampedGoodPhones -> AmpedGoodPhones. --- (of course there's always an amp, Unamped just means no beefy one)
- jkot 12y agoI think we are two different threads. Signa11 already has good headphones, even amp and DA. Question is what headphones, DA and amp is best for upgrade. I am sorry, I just disagree that mac book pro is the answer.
- frou_dh 12y agoYou -> dublinben -> you -> me is a very coherent thread. But yes, it's not worth arguing about unless we could all sit together and test some equipment.
