Dt990 pro 250 ohm need amp/dac or soundcard

[Jnys]

Hi, I want to buy a pair of dt990 pro 250 ohm. But I need a soundcard or amp/Dac for these headphones. But I do not know which I am gonna go for. Can someone please help me with some tips?

 

Which of these do you think are the best to these headphones?

- Sound Blaster X7 External Soundcard

- Sound BlasterX G5 External Soundcard

- Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5

- Schiit Stack with Modi and Magni

x7 is quiet good, will power nicely you headphones

But it is Expensive as s##t do you have any other tips? Is the schiit Stack good or The G5?

[Jnys]

And will the g5 do?

Sound Blaster X7 is entirely excessive, unless needing optical DD5.1 input (works well for consoles) or having some small passive speakers.

 

SBX G5 would be more than good enough.

Though for same money internal SBX AE-5 has still higher end components.

(top level DAC and overall easily best headphone output of any sound card)
