Hey guys,
 
I wanted to do this before but never had the guts to spend the money. But the more I  get into audio listening the more I want this.
 
I currently use my Asus Xonar Essence STX but I'm sure I can do better.
 
The headphones I have are in my signature, main listening machine on my pc is my Beyerdynamic DT990Pro.
 
I would love some recommandations. Nothing to overly expensive but it needs to be an upgrade for the xonar card. 
 
I've been looking into Schiit and thought of the Bifrost and Lyr combo. Any other companies?
 
 
I listen to the broad spectrum of EDM, at the moment alot of melodic dubstep/chillstep, Glitch hop...
 
 
I will need to save some money first though

TBH Lyr / Bifrost is overkill for the DT990, but if you want to future proof yourself that amp/dac combo will pretty much run almost everything else you may buy.
 
For DT990, I would go cheaper on the amp side and choose Valhalla 2 (if you don't plan on getting planars). Or, Asgard 2 if you do plan on getting planars.

Hey thx!
 
I will get some new cans in the future. I have my eyes on some Hifiman HE400i or even HE560's 
 
I'll start the saving
