Hi all Im looking for a cheap (sub £100) but good DAC that’s... - Mac compatible - Capable of playing back DSD 128 5,6Mhz .dff and .dsf files - Will also allow me to get the best out of my first pair of open back headphones (Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250 ohms) Thanks

Here's a Beyer I missed - I've had the Custom One Pro(2), Custom Street, DT48(4), DT770-32, DT1350(4), DT1770 Pro, T1, T51p, and T90, but this is the first T70p for me. I like it - a lot. It has a strong midrange emphasis, but overall very hi-fi with the Tesla drivers. It's not an ideal on-the-street portable, in that isolation is compromised if wearing glasses, and insofar as when pulled down around the neck for ordering coffee or schmoozing with people, it bumps against my chin. The cheaper Custom Street has no such problem. I like the comfort better than the T90, but it's easily as comfy as the T1 or DT770.

The T1 is the best headphone listening experience I've had. I had the Sennheiser HD800 for 3 years, but rarely used it except as a reference. The T1 impresses me as sounding more like real music than the breathtaking but sonically-enhanced HD800. Beyerdynamic T1 'Tesla' Stereo Headphone review

Hello everyone, how is everyone doing, I'm new to the forum and I have a question regarding headphone - amplifier (interface) matching. I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO 80 Ohm on a loan. My audio source is the Audio kontrol 1 by NI USB interface. The specs for the headphone output are: Load impedance: 8 ... 600 Ohms Maximum Output Level: 4.26 V rms, 100mW @ 100 Ohms (Other specs in the enclosed picture) I am interested whether it is safe (and correct) to use the headphones in this setup. I understand that the 80 ohm impedance falls into medium impedance territory, but cannot for the life of me figure out if it is safe or a match to use them with my audio interface. My understanding at the moment is that the load impedance is in this case basically the headphone impedance or in other words the values of headphone impedance that my interface can work with. In theory that would mean it can work with both very low and very high impedance headphones. Is my understanding correct? I'm worried I might damage the headphones. What should I be careful about to avoid damaging the headphones (any headphones really)?. I would like to use the 1/8 impedance rule in this case, but I can't determine the output impedance from the specs from the interface. Thank you for your help

Hello, I have purchased a FX Audio DAC-X6 and when playing audio with my dt 770s, the audio always has a crackling static like sounds. It does not do it when not using the amp such as listening to music through my phone. I have heard people tell me to raise the buffer size but refuse to give me instruction on how to do so. I just want to know what is making this issue happen. It constantly is crackling as long as audio plays and only stops when not playing anything. Any advice helps!
