i was wondering if this AMP could run 600 Ohms and if you guys have any suggestions that would be nice lol :}

if that’s your price range I’d go with the BD 990’s or the yamaha HPH MT-8

also don’t buy a listening dac, buy an interface. you’ll get way better integrated preamps and DSP built in for the money.

Maybe the Focusrite 2i2 or the Schiit Jotunheim

If I get Schiit Jotunheim how would it be able to handle 600 Ohms? Also thank you for your response, I am trying to get the best audio within my budget.

hey have it rated as such for 600Ω:

Maximum Power 600 ohms: 500mW RMS per channel

should be fine.

though you can’t beat the focusrite interfaces for the money.

Alr thx for the help! :}

Yup, picked up the 2nd Gen Scarlet Solo. Really nice interface for very little money and while we are talking outputs, the input sounds great on it.

Sennheiser and Beyer Dynamic are both capable of producing nice headphones. Personally I just don’t like the sound from BD. My daily driver is a slightly modded pair of Fostex T50RP Mk3, should be very close to the v1 Mayflowers.

Honestly, for your budget I would just go with the Mayflower Arc and their v1 T50RP Mk3.
