Hello everyone. So I recently jumped on a chance to get the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Premium 32 ohm for fairly cheap. Only problem is, I currently have no amp outside of a mixer amp I have for PS4. I will primarily be using these headphones for gaming on my PS4, watching tv/movies on that and an iPad, and listening to music through an iPod. So I have a few questions.
I hear the trebles can be quite harsh, what would be a good amp to get that's not too expensive that'll tame those trebles, bring these headphones to life and not cost too much? I've never bought an amp before so I don't know where to begin. I'm thinking I'll have a budget around $100. Do I need a DAC as well?
This is the mix amp I have for PS4: http://www.plantronics.com/us/media/media-resources/literature/computer_audio/rig-surround_ps_en-us.pdf . Will the headphones work at all with it? If not, can I connect an amp to the PS4 (as I said, I'm new to the world of amps)?
Lastly, am I good with the 32 ohm version? I've heard some say the 250 and 600 versions are better while others claim there's not much difference. Or should I maybe consider trading for 880s? As I said, I want to use these mostly for gaming and movies/tv, but I also am huge on music and love everything from rock to jazz, r&b and hip hop, classical and world. I hear the 990s are very fun, so that makes me excited for gaming and movies, but because I listen to some classical and jazz, I almost want to consider the 880s. What do you think?
Thank you all for the help. My apologies for having so many questions.
