I bought a Magni 2 to use with a pair of DT 990 Premiums 250 Ohm. The performance I'm getting is not what I expected, and the reseller basically told me that the DT990 are too hungry for the Magni 2. That did not seem to be the case the first few days I had the amp, the volume got lower after a while. I can't verify that of course, and I want to be open to the possibility that this difference in volume from the first few days and now was just in my head, but as things stand right now, in terms of volume output, the Magni is, to my ears, only marginally more powerful than my Fiio A3, which doesn't seem right.
In your experience, is the Magni 2 powerful enough to drive the DT990s 250? If so, what might be causing these issues?
It's been a while since I've listened to mt DT990's on my Modi/Magni combo (prefer Bimby/Valhalla 2) but power was not an issue.
