The Pro900's are not hard to drive like other headphones, they are very efficient. 
 
They still benefit from good amping...the STX should be enough.
 
you can later buy a headamp and use the STX only as a Dac.

It depends on the headphones you buy/upgrade. For now, the stx is enough for the pro 900's.
