Has anyone tried the fiio e18 with the Dr 880 250 ohm? Is it powerful enough, and how does it sound?

It's loud enough for healthy levels (and just a tad more as well).
It sounds very well as long as you like DT880's neutralish and slightly bright sound signature.
Sonarworks helps these a fair amount.
Yes, sure EQ can help.
Only thing to keep in mind is that you normally lower the level some dBs before EQing when you want to boost certain frequencies.
For instance, if you lower 6dB the whole range then the amplifier will need higher gain to compensate.
For simpler subtractive tweaks, say - 4dB @ 8kHz there's no need to lower the level.
Sonarworks will avoid clipping fir you. However, you may need a powerful amp to compensate for some of the eq if it is significant.
Is the bass on this headphone bigger and or better than the HD 600?

I have to say that I'm a newbie here. I've been reading threads in the forum for quite some time now, wow... its really like a whole new world for me.
I recently got HD598 CS + Fiio e18 during black Friday and really like them a lot, currently using them in the office. So now I'm looking for another pair of headphones that are open-back to use at home. So just wondering for DT880 currently on sale at $ 149 and T90 at $259 on ebay which are really great deals!!
I want to ask is it worth it for a new guy like me who barely know much about headphones to go for T90 with an extra 100+ usd. T90 is no doubt a better cans compare to DT880 from what I read. The question is can my ears hear the difference between these two cans since both are really good already? And are there that much different? (I mainly listen to classical music/ some pop + movies)
Should I get T90 which consider one of the best cans and don't have to look to another pair again or get DT 880 and use for a while (couple of years) and get a different sound signature cans instead? Which one would be a better choice?
Thank you in advance.
T90 has just a tad more bass and treble than DT880.
Some people prefer DT880 because it has a more neutral tuning and some people prefer T90 because it's more lively/punchy.
T90 is too bright for certain people, while DT880 is boring for certain people.
Both are very good headphones and both need quality recordings to sound their best.
Not always the most expensive is the one you'll enjoy the most.
I have the Tesla T1, along with the Sennheiser HD800 and other quality headphones and you can still find me using my DT880 from time to time.
