That's right, @lucasribeiro21. I've used a DAC amp with my headphones and the difference was noticeable. The audio was clearer and had more depth.
Thanks for the feedback, guys. So, what are some recommended DAC amps that work well with Philips SHP9600?
According to @lucasribeiro21's link, the top high-end DAC is the Cambridge Audio DacMagic 200M and the ARC Mk2 in the mid-range.
Great, I'll check those out. Also, what are some things I should consider when choosing a DAC amp?
Well, you should think about impedance, sound pressure level (SPL), and frequency response of your headphones, as well as personal preferences.
Right, impedance is particularly important if your headphones have high impedance or low sensitivity. A DAC amp can help drive them to their full potential.
Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely keep those factors in mind when making my decision.
