Hi there!
As the title says Im looking for an amp and a dac for my DT 990 Pro 250 ohm.
I previously bought FiiO E10k to drive them, but they weren't enough. I could hear, but they sounded as if I had windows volume at 50% or 40% with the gain knob to the max and windows volume maxed.
Then I bought Sound BlasterX G6 and the volume was such an improvement but I still had to pre-amp using software for like 1 to 4 dB for best volume (not that much though) even with the amplification set to High and 12 dB in their software. Need to return this because they came defective, even though I "kinda" like the volume, G6 was producing a pop sound every 5 - 15mins through the headphone which is annoying. There was no distortion or anything, but the pop was during a movie, song, or gaming which it takes you out of the moment. I did test this with another pair of headphones of I believe 32 ohms Logitech G Pro X Gaming headset and the pop still ocurred so the problem isn't with the DT 990 Pro.
Im willing to get a separate amp and dac, my budget is $240.
I was looking into a stack, Schiit Magni Heresy 100% Op-Amp-Based Headphone Amp and Preamp with Schiit Modi 3+ D/A COnverter - Delta-Sigma DAC (Black).
IF this combo is good, do I need 2 RCA Plug cables Male to Male to connect the stack? (I'm asking because I really don't know anything about this topic, I'm no audiophile)
I don't know much about studio headphones but I do know that I need more power to drive 250 ohms. I want to be able to not have the amp's knob all the way to the max.
I really like the sound of the DT 990 Pro 250 ohms and they are even better with the EQs that I use, but its sad that I can't drive them or listen to them without something going wrong like the pop sound every 5-15 mins.
