Can anybody help a noob? I just picked up this drop, but could use some help getting the best sound out of them! I am going to be using these at my desk at the office and would like to get the best sound out of them. I see people talking about DAC and amps, but have no clue where to start. Can somebody link me to a decent setup for a beginner? I will only be using these with the laptop I have at work, so the most affordable models while still getting the most from these headphones would be super helpful!

Eniac17Hi.
Basically all you need is this:
https://www.massdrop.com/buy/massdrop-o2-sdac-dac-amp
Anything more expensive than that is a waste of your money. I have yet to see one blind test where "audiophiles" can actualy hear what they say they can. Most people cannot hear a difference between dac/amp for 2k dollars and notebook onboard audio.
Also these are open-back headphones. That means people sitting next to you will hear quite clearly and loudly what you are listening to. Which may be unwanted in office environment.

luke_sewolkerThanks for the info! My office environment isn't the quietest, and I don't listen to music that loud anyways. What about a fiio E10k? http://a.co/dDkSRjt How much of a performance drop would I see if I were to get that over the one you linked?
