I have been reading several post, but I have not yet reached conclusion.
My use is for gaming, I have a xonar dgx, game to all kinds of games, lately fps, wow, lol, etc ...
At first my idea was FX Hi-Fi X6, but I do not know if this is the right thing to do, or just look for an amplifier and use my sound card from dac, help :)

Do you mean FX-Audio DAC X6?
If so, then this product may not be able to drive your 600 ohm DT990, according to the reviewers on this thread.

I'd suggest trying your DT990 with your existing Xonar DGX sound card and see if it is to you taste.

If you're still wanting a DAC/amp then it might be best to look for those where the reviewers are happy that it drives their 600ohm headphones.

If the FX-Audio DAC X6, the sound card will not be able to move 600 ohm, can not move well or the 250 ohm as I read.
I also had the little dot mk2 in mind, but I do not know if it's going well for 600 ohm and if it's good for gaming.
If anyone uses 600 ohm and has experience with some amp

How much are you willing to budget?
Maybe get a Schiit Magni or O2 (Objective 2) headphone amplifier.
