Apparently it's directly linked to the chip matehow is the headphone jack on the 205? I've never tried it.

I had the same issue, really liked the look of the 1990, but have a balanced amp. So I bought a pair of Beyerdynamic Amiron, which can be used with xlr cables. I am not telling you to buy the Amiron vs 1990, however if you have a chance to compare the two that would be a good option. From my understanding the amiron is a little warmer, but I have not had the pleasure to hear the 1990. There is a thread here that does compare the two. Good luck with your search !What I like about the Focal Elex from Massdrop is it includes XLR cables. 1990 pro doesn't seem to be compatible with XLR cables unless some serious mod work is performed
I appreciate the input! In that case I may just order both from amazon and return the one I like the least. I think the only way I'll ever be able to decide on a headphone is to actually listen to them in person.I had the same issue, really liked the look of the 1990, but have a balanced amp.

If that was me I apologise it won't happen againAsking again, let's please keep the discussion on-topic. The moderators prefer not to have to step in when a thread goes off-topic. Please keep posts related to the DT 1990 Pro. Thanks all.
I use a Feliks Elise tube amp with my 1990's, it's a beautiful pairing, the Elise has a classic tube sound without ever sounding too gooey or taming the 1990's too much, love it!. This is my currant set up with CV1052 tubes, via an adapter, this gives me the best sound I've ever heard.How many DT 1990 owners are amping with a tube amp? I run mine through a modified Darkvoice 336SE (fitz mod and preamp bypass) with some vintage tubes... anybody else?
Does hybrid count? I use mine with a lightly modded Bottlehead Quickie+Quicksand combo. I think it sounds great. I've been lusting after the SEX, too.How many DT 1990 owners are amping with a tube amp?
