HEADPHONE AUDIO AMPLIFIER DAC ONEODIO MONITOR 80

I've recently purchased a pair of OneOdio Monitor 80 headphones and I'm looking for some guidance on selecting the best amp to use with them. Can anyone recommend any good DAC amps? I'd love to hear some experiences or recommendations.

Yes, I read that article and it was quite insightful. However, I'm looking for some real-life experiences or personal anecdotes from people who have used these headphones with different amps to understand better what might work best.

I've been using the OneOdio Monitor 80s with a Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M DAC amp, and it's been fantastic. The sound is crisp and clear, with great detail in the highs and mids. Highly recommended!

@verticalmike, thanks for sharing your experience! How does the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M compare to other amps you've tried?

I also used the OneOdio Monitor 80s with an ARC Mk2 DAC amp and was quite impressed. It had a nice warm sound signature, which I really enjoyed.

Thanks for sharing your experiences, @verticalmike and @surprisinglylittle. These are really helpful. By the way, I've tried a few amps like AudioQuest DragonFly Red and FiiO Q1 Mark III but didn't find them as suitable for the OneOdio headphones.

I've been using the Monitor 80s with a custom-built DAC amp, and it's made a huge difference in terms of bass response and overall clarity. I would highly recommend trying out different amps to see what works best for your listening preferences.

That's great to know, @Mazekitty. It sounds like the right amp can really make a significant difference in the performance of these headphones. Thanks everyone for sharing their experiences!

You're welcome, @SimpleDose! Don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions or need further advice.
