Hi,
Need some help. Pretty much a noob.
I recently got my DT990 pro 250ohms. I'm currently using it with my Behringer UMC404HD interface without a headphone amp. I'm noticing that the right driver is clipping (crackling?) at certain frequencies. It happens randomly so I'm not sure about the exact frequency. It happens sometimes with the bass but with mid-high frequency as well sometimes. Oh, and it only happens with the right driver only as well which I think is weird.
I've read somewhere on reddit that the interface should be able to drive the DT990 Pro especially if I will power it with the adapter instead of it being USB powered. I doubted that but I just went ahead and purchased the headphones, I can buy an amp later on anyways. I'm getting reasonable volume out of the interface but the right driver is clipping, even when I turn it down a little bit.
My questions are:
1. Are they really underpowered?
2. Is it normal for underpowered headphones to clip on one driver only?
3. If I do really need a headphone amp, any recommendations? (I use the headphones for mixing, I'm pairing it with Sonarworks SoundID)
Thanks so much.
Cheers,
