What DAC/amp are you using? I'm interested in knowing how power-demanding these are.

They are pretty easy to run. Even the Apple Lightning dongle (EU iPhone) can drive these pretty good. FiiO BTR5 also works absolutely fine. I've been using the DT1990s for around 3 years and still love them over most of my other headphones.

Thanks to all three who replied, I'd like to upgrade my HD560s at some point in the future and these seem like the best candidate but whatever I get should be able to be driven by the iem output of the rme adi-2 so I don't have to switch headphones every time I want to use my main ones or daily drivers, that's why the power requirements is kind of important here.

I’m running them off a Focusrite Scarlett Solo right now, they get plenty loud for me but I might look for something new in the future.

Works fine even with a motherboard amp. They're high ohm but very sensitive.

I keep 'em plugged to my Zen Dac and yes, Power Match and True Bass are mandatory ;)
