Question about Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro
Hello, Can I use it properly if I don't use a DAC or audio interface? Which is better, an audio interface or a DAC? What is the best and cheapest option if I want to use an XLR microphone later? I have an Asus Z270F Gaming with an integrated sound card. Currently I use a stable system which only pleases me and less my neighbours. My goal is to hear sound of the highest quality, but also to deliver it later via the microphone. Friendly greetings
The headphones have 250Ω and can be operated at a decent volume even on a smartphone, so that you can't hear yourself talking despite the open design. This means that it is not particularly demanding in terms of preamplifier performance.
Your questions are a bit strangely posed overall. You don't say what exactly you want to do with it. What do you want to "output" through the microphone! You mean record, right? And what is a "stable system"? If you use the headphones and the microphone at the same time, you will have crosstalk from the headphones to the microphone because of the open design. You can hear that, in the worst case there's feedback. If that's what you have in mind, the DT1770 is the first choice. Do you want to produce music? Mixing?
An "XLR microphone" is an adventurous name. Either you want to connect a dynamic microphone or a condenser microphone. In the latter case, phantom power is essential. The small Audient Evo 4, for example, is inexpensive and has very good mic preamps, but if you have a larger budget, the iD models will cut a more professional figure. As I said, the Audient mic preamps are 1A, even with the Evo 4. In any case, they sound better than the Focusrite preamps, which are in the same price range. If you want to work with professional levels, then a Babyface Pro FS from RME, for example, is more the right address, if only because of the setting options; in addition, the drivers from RME are simply unrivalled. A purely analogue studio headphone amplifier such as a Rupert Neve Designs RNHP is fed with an analogue signal and professional levels and sounds accordingly, but it also has its price and requires an audio interface that can also output corresponding levels. The KH output of the Babyface Pro FS is still sufficient. It is already excellent. 1/2
