I am glad to have picked these up, they are my first open-back pair of headphones. I only own a pair of Ultrasone HFI 780's and use an xduoo ta-01 dac/amp > matrix m stage 2 amp > ultrasone hfi 780's. I currently only use the xduoo as a DAC and have it powered off, to my understanding the stock tube is quite poor and I'd need to buy a better 12au7 tube for it to be worthy. Is it worth looking into using the xduoo as a preamp as well as a dac? Would this even be necessary or provide any benefits? the matrix provides enough power but my current pair of headphones has a very low impedance and these are at at 300. Any help would be greatly appreciated

SeanDiRienzoThe impedance of these is only 62. I think everything benefits from a DAC since the audio signal is coming from an optical or USB output. The standard line-out from a computer messes with sound a lot
