Actually, the Ath A900x is another AWESOME can that works well with Tubes!
The Ath A900x, has a nice full bodied bass, great treble and high energy mids. Those mids [which would be GREAT on a tube] pair'd with that price make for an excellent headphone that pairs well with Budget Level Tubes.
I own the Dt 990, the extra bass is not my favorite with rock, vocals... or Folk World Music , but It's amazing with Classical, Jazz, Nu Jazz [which is like Instrumental Hip Hop] and epic with EDM [Tehcno]
That being said, Like the Dt 990, the Ath a900x has a simmilar sound signiture. It has less bass [so it works nice with everything] and the mids maintain a nice enough attack that when pair'd with a tube the Dt 990 has really wonderful lush, yet detailed and smooth mids. The Ath a900x should work equally as well with Tubes, although it does not have the sound stage to withstand a high gain tube [like the dt 990]
Either way, It's a nice can! Wish I still had a tube to try it with
Ya I heard tube amps work wonders with the DT 990 but was a little out of my budget. One day I hope to give it a shot tho. For now just gonna have to deal with this Schiit, times are hard
