โ€œthose dt 990s are definitely hungry for power especially the 80 ohm version - your phone probably just cant drive them properly which is why you need to crank the volume so high.โ€

โ€œKeep it on low gain for HD 490... this setup is pretty dang amazing. Legit endgame setup for a lot of people. ... Also the cable on the 490's is terrible in my opinion.โ€
