Amp for dt880 600 ohm help

I currently have the atom amp/dac for my dt880 600 ohms I was just wondering if there is anything you fellows would recommend for a good amp I am looking at the emotiva basx a-100 and asgard 3. Any recommendations are appreciated. My limit is at $300.

The Asgard 3 should give you all you need, though the Atom should be serviceable if not just slightly stretched.

What do you feel is missing in using the Atom?

2nd the asgard 3, personally imo it’s a higher preforming headphone amp than the basx a100 and has plenty to give the 880 600 ohm

3RD THE ASGARD3 much better than the a100

Shit IDK I just wanna hear what zeos is talking about

How about a tube amp? My tube amp is low impedance, but in concert with my Schiit Loki they sound amazing! I am not sure if the more economic tube amps have the juice though.

Something like a darkvoice will do the job, but really if you can spend a bit more and do a bottlehead crack + speedball kit it’s an excellent pairing imo, also I guess the musical paradise mp301 mk3 is a good more budget tube amp

Would you recommend that last amp? I see it selling in Canada for $570.00.

Yeah I like it, a bit noisy but pretty fun, thicker sounding, enjoyable if you have the right headphones, also great for messing around with different types of tubes and can also power sensitive speakers

4th the Asgard 3!

Yep, schiit asgard3 is gonna do it

Would I even need a dac for that or I could just use an rca cable and connect it to my pc or I could just use my atom dac?

You can go atom dac to asgard3

On behalf of MON, let me also say the Lake People G111, but maybe I’m speaking out of turn

I have the lake people g109 and the 880s 600ohm sound awesome on it!

If the OP can acquire a Lake People amp for under 300 then yes, those are also excellent options.

The g103s fits nicely into the budget
