Hello Everyone! Wondering if you can help with this one.
I was thinking of the the topping NX3, but I would need to have it on high gain to drive the DT 990, which would presumably cause clipping when I connected it to the D30. The 32 Ohm DT 990 premium costs $70 more than the 250 Ohm variation so I would like to avoid that route if possible. I assume a creative E1 would work but it doesn't look high-quality, struggling to find decent desktop amps under $100.
Alternatively, does someone know of another open/semi-open headphone that has some sort of presence in the 20-60 hz region? I may end up just forgoing the idea of getting an open headphone that has sub-bass but would be nice to get one with some low-end. I'm no basshead, just looking for a sub-bass response that is neutral or a couple db below neutral, as opposed to 5-10 db below neutral like most open headphones have.
