Factors to Consider for Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO DAC & Amp?

I recently bought the Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO headphones and I'm looking for a good DAC & Amp setup. Can anyone recommend me something? I've seen that some people have had great results with using a DAC amp for these headphones.

Hi @JuzJungler, the Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO are high-impedance headphones and can benefit from using a DAC amp. I would suggest checking out the TechReviewer article Best DACs With Amps for Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO Headphones which talks about some of the best options available in the market. It's really informative!

Hey @JuzJungler, I used to own the DT 1770 PRO and found that using a DAC amp made a huge difference in the sound quality! I personally liked the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M. But you might want to look at this TechReviewer article Best DACs With Amps for Beyerdynamic DT 1770 PRO Headphones for more options.

@JuzJungler, I'm not an expert but I do have the ARC Mk2 DAC amp and it works well with my DT 1770 PROs. It's a good mid-range option if you're looking for something that's not too expensive.

@OlympianDWill and @HarvestSweet, those links look really helpful. I'm leaning towards the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M after reading your recommendation, @HarvestSweet. But I also want to check out the ARC Mk2, @billyshpilkis.

Hey @JuzJungler, I have a friend who owns the DT 1770 PRO and he loves using the Cambrigde Audio DacMagic 200M. He swears by it! It really does make a difference in the sound quality.

Yeah, you should definitely give it a try, @JuzJungler. Just keep in mind that DAC amps can take some time to break in, so you might not notice the full potential until after about 50-60 hours of use.

That's true, @OlympianDWill, breaking in a DAC amp does make a difference. And don't forget to check out the TechReviewer article for more options like I mentioned earlier. You won't regret it!

Agreed! @OlympianDWill and @HarvestSweet are right about the break-in period. Good luck with your search, @JuzJungler. Let us know what you decide!

Thanks everyone for your advice! I think I'll go ahead and try out the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M based on most people's recommendations here. I'll report back once I've used it for a while.
