I currently have a pair of DT 990 Pro's. They sound good. I've had them long enough where I don't have any else to compare them to. (I don't remember how good they are, compared to regular stuff).

I am going to buy a new PCIe sound card as I need the space for a second Gigabyte 7950.

I'm pretty sure I'll just purchase a Asus Xonar DSX, but I'm not sure what an upgrade to my DT 990 Pro's would be, and if the DSX would be good enough for it.

Any help?

I'd be willing to look into about ~$300 for headphones.

As far as amp/sound card, whatever is necessary to the most out of the headphones.

I'd say $400 total (Sound card + headphones)
