![]() ![]() On black friday Drop puts a lot of models like those on a big discount. You need power for those because they rate them at 300ohm but during peaks they go a lot higher, like the HD700 which tops out at 500 ohm at loud volume during busy passages. Last week I had an HD6xx and took it to a big valley in Destiny 2 and could hear all the activity going on in the distance. People say the Sennheiser HD6xx doesn't have the soundstage for gaming but I know they do. I piped an AE-5 into a JDS Atom amp and had lots of fun, the Schiit Hel was a great match for those too. The Drop PC37x was great for the price, but you only get the mini thumps of sub bass when they're powered with at least 1 watt. I have a Gen2 right behind me too and they're similar. These have bass when it's called for, but not like the Amiron Home which bleeds into the mids (great for gaming with the detail and soundstage those things have, but recessed mids are a bummer). My daily driver through it all is the Beyerdynamic MMX300 Gen1 with the silver DT770 pads which takes the treble down a little and adds bass over the black which have a less dense foam. Usually the tone board is a little bright, but the Heresy makes it just right for me on this Beyerdynamic MMX300 with silver DT770 pads (stock black ones too bright without eq). I'm listening now to the Heresy and a Khadas tone board and it's an amazing pairing for music and games too. Of course you can power those with a flashlight so the JDS Element 2 would be more than plenty. Out of the 110 different models I've bought and sold, the Audio Technica ADA1000x is kingpin for gaming, hearing behind you on those is so easy. For gaming the DT990 wasn't that great, I don't know why people recommend them on the gaming reddits (probably just repeating what someone else said). The JDS Element 2 is good but less power and voltage to work with. ![]() The SP200 is good for Sennheisers, but wasn't as much fun for brighter headphones than the Heresy.įrom that I'd personally get the Heresy/Modi3+ for the power down the road. When I was gaming on them I could hear more details I didn't notice in parts of games with the other stack. I'm keeping the Khadas tone board and Heresy after all. I've been testing it against the JDS Atom DAC and the SMSL SP200 amp all weekend. ![]() I keep it in low gain except for the HE4XX and the Shure 1840's which can take some power. If you can get the Magni 3+/Modi3 combo I wouldn't rule that out either if you plan on going with brighter headphones in the future. The Heresy shines too with the Shure 1840, the Hifiman Planars too. Listening to the JDS Atom DAC and Heresy now and I can throw into Destiny 2 anytime and upgrade to more demanding cans without worrying about running out of volume wheel.Ĭlick to expand.From that I'd personally get the Heresy/Modi3+ for the power down the road. It's more like a JDS Atom amp in that way. The power rating on the Topping 元0 is only when you put 3 volts into it, the E30 does like 2.2v so you won't reach the stated power levels it claims. For 32ohm dynamic headphones or headsets a Soundblaster G6 is more than enough. Also for planar magnetics the Heresy really sounds good like the Drop Hifiman HE-4XX or Sundara. I picked the JDS 4490 original DAC since it handles treble well and I use brighter headphones mostly. Filters 2 and 5 on the E30 were ok, but the 元0 combo sounded kind of dry (it scores crazy on SINAD but it's down to personal preference and the Heresy does it for me). The Khadas tone board also paired really well with the Heresy. ![]() The Magni 3+ is excellent too, some gamers prefer it's sound stage. The E30/元0 was good too, but I buy and sell gear so the power of the Heresy will handle almost anything. I've got the Heresy and a JDS Atom DAC (4490 version) and it's great for gaming and music both. ![]()
