My G6 was fine with the 250ohm DT990 I had. For something similar you could try the Beyer Tygr R. Similar to the DT990 but without the table peak and much easier to drive so you won’t be restricted by the gear it’s connect to.
Soundmagic HP200 (32-Ohm) headphones, like an improved DT990.
Having had both the G6 and DT-990 Pro 250, you will discover that the G6 can be maxed on High Gain and still be listenable. aka it's underpowered, and you stress the G6 amp. Also, the analog stage will roll off the bass response on your 250ohm cans.
I did that with a G6 and my Asgard 3. Then later I got a SMSL M300 MKII, and compared. That's when I learned that the analog out rolls off the bass response, and the audio sounded grainy compared to the M300.
Treble peak is still high on tygr
I don;t find I need to Eq it down at all on the Tygr (for gaming at least) while I did on the DT990.
Yea - 1990 was too peaky without eq for me. Tygr sits just right for me in that regard - although I find the mids a tad recessed for it to be perfect. Have moved on to the HD560s for gaming now (fps especially).
I went into the overkill direction and now sport a set of M1570
Do you think this would be enough to power the headphones I just ordered? Cause that's a great price.
Interesting. Earlier this week it was the same price -- but as a bundle that included the Aurvana Trio LS. Within the same day their stock of the Aurvana was gone and effectively broke the bundle. The bundle is back (available for backorder) but now costs $20 more ($80).

The Tygrs and AKG should be ok, the DT-990 at 250 ohm, no.
