Hi, I am going to be buying the DT990 PRO's soon and was wondering if there are any good cheap amps that will power them well.
 
I am getting this sound card but am not sure that it will power them properly: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829132020
 
thanks in advance!

They are rated at 250Ohm. I dont think that soundcard will drive them properly. If you can save a bit more and buy the Xonar essence stx it would be nice.

If you are going to be using  it for the Computer, you should get a dac/amp Combo instead of a soundcard like the NFB-12.
 
I'm running it with my Sennheiser HD 650 which are 300ohms and they run beautifully.

You could get the Essence STX card instead of the DG if you're willing to spend that much. It will definitely power them, and has a top-notch DAC too.
 
I should add it's PCI-e, but there's the ST if you only have a PCI slot.

A Bellari 540 has fantastic chemistry with the 990's, calms the highs and brings out the mids. I was not a fan of the 990's off my M-stage, then I tried them on the Bellari and have not taken them off since.
