[SOLVED] Can my onboard audio drive dt990 pro 250ohm

[johnupham80]

Guys i'm planning to buy beyerdynamic dt990 pro 250ohm just for gaming, but i dont know if my onboard audio can handle 250ohm because that ohm is rated for studio grade if im not wrong. So my onboard audio is from my motherboard x470 gaming 7 wifi.
Can it handle 250ohm??

Thanks for response

You will need an external headphone amplifier or an internal sound card. Something like Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Rx

Your motherboard has a built in headphone amp so yes it will drive the 250ohm DT990s.

It doesn't say exactly but it has an amp and a very good ESS Sabre DAC. The 250 ohm DT990s aren't that hard to drive so just by having an amp it should be fine. If it's not enough the headphones won't get loud and you'd know you need more power.
