Just bought some dt990 premium 32ohms got them for a steal! Currently I'm using some EQ APO settings for I think the 250 or 600ohm version. Sounds great but I just want to see if there are any settings more specific to the 32ohms that might work even better for me

Headphones plugged directly into audigy fx 5.1

I'll Paste the current settings I am using
Any suggestions for me to try out would be much appreciated!!

Current settings:

Channel: ALL
Preamp: -2.8 dB
Filter: ON PK Fc 20 Hz Gain 3 dB Q 0.9
Filter: ON PK Fc 145 Hz Gain -3 dB Q 0.6
Filter: ON PK Fc 360 Hz Gain 1.2 dB Q 4
Filter: ON PK Fc 650 Hz Gain 2.5 dB Q 1.3
Filter: ON PK Fc 2300 Hz Gain 1 dB Q 4
Filter: ON PK Fc 3000 Hz Gain -1 dB Q 4
Filter: ON PK Fc 4390 Hz Gain 1 dB Q 7
Filter: ON PK Fc 5840 Hz Gain -8.2 dB Q 4
Filter: ON PK Fc 7300 Hz Gain 2.5 dB Q 7
Filter: ON PK Fc 8220 Hz Gain -11 dB Q 5

Anyone else able to post their EQ APO settings for their dt990s? would love to give them a try

I'm guessing you could improve the audio quality of the DT990 32-Ohm headphones by replacing the Audigy FX 5.1.
Maybe find a good deal on a used Sound Blaster Z sound card (better DAC & head amp).

I have since come upon a post of a tutorial on how to eq my headphones and the result is great!
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/how...ts-a-step-by-step-guide.854773/#post-14152793 -- the tutorial

I bought the fx 5.1 to upgrade from on board audio. How much of a difference would there be between these soundcards
