Personally, I'm surprised the Xonar DX works well with the DT-880 250-Ohm. My Xonar DX barely powers my DT-770 Pro 250-Ohm, with all volumes max out, sound level is around 3/10   Xonar DX verses Xonar DG, not sure.

I once owned some refurbished Sony XB500, mushy bass, mushy pads, weird vocals. Find some refurb (on eBay) Beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro 80-Ohms, good bass. I do not think you will find very may fans of "Beats" headphones on this forum.

Beyerdynamic U.S.A. ebay listing is "bd-usa".  

Save a few dollars, get a refurbished DT-770 Pro 80-Ohm (bassy), off eBay, sold by Beyerdynamic U.S.A. And a cheap ($50) single tube headphone amplifier, off eBay.   Total final price is around $150-$180.
