After some thought I've decided to purchase Beyer Dynamics DT990s 250ohm version. (This will be my second audiophile headphone, the first being an HD555 that I ran without an amp).
I am now trying to decide on a headphone amp for it. Please note that I will be using these headphones and their associated amplifier exclusively with my desktop computer. I doubt I'll ever even unplug them! Anyway, my budget is around $150-200. I'm very new to the apm world, having never purchased one, but so far this one looks good:

It looks pretty good to me, but some guy in one of the user reviews said it wasn't strong enough to power "some" headphones adequately. I have no idea if the dt990 250ohms is one of these headphones, or if hes talking about one of those 600ohm pairs!
So should I go for these? Or are there any other amps in the sub-$200 range that would be a better choice?
Thanks a lot!
PS I have an onboard soundcard in my computer, if that matters.
