NEED AMP for my DT 990 600 Ohm, please help!

Thread Starter 

I just got my DT 990 600 Ohms and they sound great.  I'm looking for the best possible amp I can get for around $100-$175 (or possibly a little more, opinion?).  I use them primarily for gaming.  I want something that's gonna give it a louder bass.  I currently have an Astro A40 mixamp and it's really quiet.  I'm ready to upgrade.

 

I am by no means an "audiophile."  I bought the DT 990's based on what I've read in these forums.  If anyone has a better suggestion on headphones and amp (for gaming), please let me know.  I want a good, loud bass. Thanks.

my 990/600 ohm have sounded best out of an OTL amp, a little dot mk ii is a cheap OTL or perhaps a BottleHead Crack amp kit if you or anyone you know is handy.

or for used you could probably find a La Figaro 336(250ish) or Woo WA3(350ish).

either of those two will make your Beyers absolutely SING.  like angels god and sweetbabyJesus singing christmas carols tomorrow night
