i have the beyerdynamics DT 990 , i don't understand why u need an amp for your headphones u should have the hp input on your card.

The DT770 have an impedance of 250 Ohms, which make them quite quiet. I use them this way though, inbuilt loudness limitation takes care of my ears.

Are you sure? because my dt 770's can be pretty loud, i'm using them in combination with an emu 0404 soundcard though... I always thought they had an impedance of around 80 Ohm

Edit: never mind, i should really hang out with my gear more often: I just realised I have an DT770 Pro
