So I think I have landed on upgrading my Audio Technica ATH-A900 headphones to the Beyerdynamics DT 770 Pro (80 ohm) headphones. I couldn't quite get the volume I wanted out of my laptop... 100 was close for some music, but other music I want it a little louder. So I remembered about 6 years ago when I got the A900's, I purchased a FiiO E10 USB DAC headphone amp. Plugged it up and voila ... a definite improvement that I can actually hear. And the bass boost on this is pretty cool too.
HOWEVER... got a itch to get something else. The newer FiiO E10k is supposedly a better DAC/amp ... with an improved bass boost. It runs about $75. Just curious along in that price range what else I might consider. Not wanting to go deep in the pocket book with this... something simple and inexpensive.
