Crack w/ Speedball or S.E.X?

[wolfetan44]

Hey, so I have a HD650, DT880, and a Paradox. So if I got the S.E.X, is it as good with the HD650's as the Crack w/ speedball is? The thing is, is that i have the O2/ODAC for the Paradox(which the owner LOVES with the Paradox). So with the HD650 and DT880, basically, taking the Paradox out of the picture, which would be  better, the Crack or S.E.X.?

Which version of the DT880s do you have? (What impedance?)

 

[wolfetan44]

Ahh. Sorry, its the 600 ohm version.

If you don't need the ability to run speakers, I would go with the Crack and Speedball. People here are in love with this setup and those headphones. Plus, it will save you a bit of money which you can then blow that savings on different capacitors and tubes. This being said, I have not listened to the newest iteration of the SEX with the impedance boards.

I haven't finished building my S.E.X. 2.1, but I would definitely vote for the Crack + Speedball. The Crack is pure magic with Sennneisers, and its the best amp I've found for high-impedance Beyers (not all of which I'm a big fan of, but that's a different story).

Cool, cool guys. Crack it is! Also, my DT880's have cocobolo cups on them from Martincustomaudio

About to buy, so quick quick answer! Does it come with the power cord necessary?

I don't think so. Any generic computer cable will work.

It does, Doc B answered my question. Anyways, just bought it about 10 minutes ago!
