I am getting very low sound volumes from cd6005 headphone jack with Dt900 pro 250 get contradictory advice do I need headphone amp?

I wouldn't think so. Haven't had any problems with volume from my AT cans. Hope that helps.

When the headphone amp worked yes, such as if my mp3 player was cranked all the way up then I could use volume on amp to increase the volume louder still. hope this helps

It will work perfectly with the DT770 250ohm headphones. I use it with my DT990 250ohm Beyers and can push them to uncomfortable levels of volume. You'll be fine for sure.

these are low impedance and work on any device headphone jack. No headphone amplifier is necessary, in fact, I am listening on my computer right now with volume set at 10% of max. and it is almost too loud. If your laptop volume seems too low, it is due to audio settings on the laptop.

I am using a 250ohm DT770Pro right now using only onboard audio from my desktop and the sound is incredible. I can not vouch for its effectiveness with mobile devices or sources with lower power than my desktop.

You will need an amp. Unfortunately a regular mp3 or anything that simply plays music will not generate enough watts to properly power the headphones. You can still use the headphones without an amp, but they will be seriously underpowered. To the point sound will be a whisper no matter how loud you turn up the volume.

If you haven't already done so try using the headphone line out to the amp. That should work.

The volume is dependent upon your device and the stereo. I have had no issues with the volume, and am actually getting higher volume from this device than from a normal headphone cable.

I would simply use asset of rca type cables.I am not sure what brand of receiver you have but all of them I have seen have the red/white rca jacks for multipul inputs. Normally the cd in jacks give the best headphone sound rather than aux or phono

No you can use headphones through the built in headphone amplifier. Most Cd players don't have this feature but the Onkyo 7030 at $179 has it as well as this Teac and the better Tascam Pro Teac vers. The Yamaha unit at $300 has a USB port but you lose the headphone amp in that unit. The Onyko is a great player and bests this Teac with it's Plus or Minus 2 D.B. 20-20. That's a horrible spec for a CD player and would be heard if you listened carefully to your music. NAD, Onkyo, and Yamaha players all have a rating of Plus or Minus .5 DB. 20-20 which is considered about as good as you can get and un audible to anyone.

I am using Philips X1, which is 30 Ohms. It has more than enough power for my taste. I'm not sure if a 250 Ohm headphone would work, without an amp.

You can use a 3.5 mm to RCA stereo adapter to connect a headphone amp to your computer's headphone output. I have done this with my desktop computer and the Magni. Distortion is possible if the computer volume is set too high so you have to lower the volume. You will get better results by using a DAC such as the Modi to connect to your computer. You can connect the DAC to the computer USB port and then connect the Lyr to the DAC with RCA cables.

You can connect the analog outputs of the Marantz 5004 cd player directly into most headphone amps to drive appropriate cans. The headphone amp will have to have sufficient input impedance and a gain control and have sufficient output to drive the cans in question. For what it is worth, the headphone amp built into the Marantz will drive my Sennheiser HD 600s w/o problems but YMMV.

You really need a headphone amp to get good performance out of the HD 650. It may play but it will shine with a headphone amp.

I use Sennheuser HD 598 headphone; my player is an iPod, or my Nexus tablet, running through this amplifier is much better sounding than without an amp, or in comparison to a creative portable amp I tried for a bit.

I had never tried it with the beyerdynamic dt990. However, I have listen to it for months with a Sennheiser HD580 (300 ohm headphone) and it is a perfect! I also have a Grace Headphone DAC+amplifier (m902), which is a almost US$ 2000 headphone and the Valhalla sounds better! In fact, I have never listen to a better headphone amp in my life. This product is designed to high impedance headphones. It is very dynamic and musical. Hope this helps.

There is no need for a headphone amp with the X3. It has high gain. I use ATH M50s and have never used the high gain setting.
