DAC For DT990 250 Ohm
I just ordered a pair of these cans from amazon and am looking into a good amp/dac as well. I have decided on 1 of 2 courses of action fiio e17 or Schiit Magni headphone amplifier with a xonar Dx sound card. I guess a xonar essence stx with the Schitt amp might be a good option as well.- timbo1130
