Hello,
I just bought JDS Labs Atom AMP and this thing is amazing in combo with my Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm. Before this I used onboard pc audio which have ALC1220 codec from realtek, dual Texas Instruments op-amps and manufacturers words are that it 'should drive' headphones up to 600 ohms. It was driving my 250 Ohms extremely loud so that is true to some degree.. With Atom AMP I can clearly hear much better sound coming from my headphones - much better low end, highs and mids are much clearer now. I've had the enough volume before but now it's much cleaner.
Since I didn't have any problems with my onboard audio DAC - zero hissing and background noise, should I consider buying external DAC ?
Now my Atom AMP is working great and there is no hissing coming from the onboard DAC even at high gain and max voulme (just for test) with no music playing in background.
What do you guys think?
