hi, man. Im thinking about the same config, did you find something? I'd like do know if the xp-7 has enough juice for the 990 600ohms.

I haven't heard either of those amps, but I can verify that the DT990/600 absolutely loves tube amps.
 
I have a portable amp that's also powered by a pair of 9V batteries, and it does have enough juice to drive them well, but it doesn't really show off their strengths.  They sound truly spectacular on my tube amp.
 
Both the ones you've listed are miles better than the sources I'm using, but I hope that helps a little.

Yeah, I've also heard that a lot, than I started to consider buying a Woo3 but I've never listened to tube sound and there is no way to do that before I buy my amp (I need it fast, before leaving USA in two weeks). So I decided to not take the risk of buying something that I could dislike. I think tube sound isnt good for electronic songs and movies. So I'm looking for a good solid state amp in USA to drive the dt990 600.

But actually I'm considering in buying a hd650 (that has less ohms and maybe it's easy to drive) and giving up about the dt990 pro. Maybe the XP-7 + hd650 combination can give me better results than dt990 + xp7 or HR-2

just look for an amp that's known to be a bit on the warm side, and you'll probably be happy.  I liked my 990/pro 250 more with SS than I do the 990/600.
