nightingelf 0 Report post Posted September 28, 2010 I would like to ask if the Ordnance .22 amp could actually power a DT770-600 ohms. Or is there a need to get better portable amplifiers? I am currently using my Ordnance .22 with Audio Technica Ath-es5. My music genre taste is quite a wide range. While I do listen to classicals, I also listen to acoustic, some times heavy metal, others maybe nu-metal or rock. Its a very wide range. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nightingelf 0 Report post Posted September 29, 2010 Thanks for the reply. So would 250 ohms be okay? Kinda find headphones with semi-open or closed. Would need the soundstage, would also want to have a warm sound. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Plexcio Acoustics 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2010 I would say you will need to crank up the volume really high and I think you should really try a proper desktop amp to power it. It's not really worth it to power full blown headphones with a portable amp. It wouldn't sound like it should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightingelf 0 Report post Posted October 5, 2010 Well I just tested the DT770-250 pro with my ordnance .22 amp. I didn't crank the volume up to listen to any music piece and there was people talking all around me at the same time but I could not hear them. The amp knob was at about 9 or 10 oclock position. But it does seem flat which Uncle Wilson said it was due to it being cans for monitoring rather than leisure listening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
