New Head-Fier
I'm very new to all of this but have been doing a lot of reading on new headphones but can't decide what to buy. I don't have a DAC or amp. I will mostly use these headphones for gaming (often times competitive shooters like csgo) while on the call with friends and some light music listening or youtube watching. What I have decided on are the combo's: Beyerdynamic dt990 600 ohms with fx audio DAC x6, Beyerdynamic dt990 600 ohms with just an amp (recommend me one which is affordable) or the Sennheiser hd6xx with fx audio DAC x6.
I've seen people say the fx audio DAC x6 cant really power headphones like the dt990 600 ohm, but also some that say that it can, but none that I've seen, seem to say anything about the gain jumper "mod" which I hope might make a difference. If it won't power it, I feel like I might have to get the dt990 without a DAC and just an amp but don't know which one as the Magni 3 is oftentimes out of stock in the EU.
What would you recommend I buy? my budget is around what a hd6xx with fx audio DAC x6 would cost
