I have HD595 headphones and I'm considering getting a Corda Aria amp as it has an internal DAC via USB. But this amp costs more than double what my headphones cost so am a bit wary of spending so much if it doesn't do much for me sound wise. Anyone have this amp and can give an estimate of how much it will improve the sound quality for music, 5%, 10%?
 
lol dude you get that then u need better headphones so $$$ the 595s benefit from a DAC more than an amp if they are 50 ohm. clean up the source first in other words.
 
Compared to no amp and using directly through my X-Fi and Santa Cruz on the other PC.
 
Amped vs Unamped with those phones is more like a 20% improvement.
 
Ok, 20% improvement would be nice but maybe not worth it considering the Aria's cost.

Mr. X only sells to the U.S. I would definitely want a high quality DAC via USB though.
