Which version of the DT 990's did you get? I've got the DT 990 Premium 32 Ohm, and I absolutely fucking love them (I got them summer of 2012 and they are still going strong with many hundreds of hours put into them (if not thousands, I listen to a lot of music with them).

Either way, DT 990's are amazing, you should enjoy them a lot!

What are you driving them with? I'm using a Xonar Essence STX soundcard for mine, and it has worked wonderfully so far (it was a tremendous improvement over the default soundcard on the motherboard, also, I like that it has a 6.3 mm headphone jack slot, so that I can use the 6.3 mm jack with my DT 990's instead of the 3.5 mm)

I got the 250Ohm version, I'm currently driving them with the onboard sound on my ASUS Maximus VI Impact.

My Schiit has yet to arrive, last I heard of it, it was at the "airport city" of Greenland, so it should be in my hands within the next 2-3 days.

I have to save some more to get oil cooling I could throw my H110 on it but I feel this setup deserves ek components!

k, sounds good. had to backtrack to find your old build. forgot you had the triple crossfire 7970s in the 600D If you do WC, I expect drunkenvalley-style pics!

Here are some links to my setup. Dual monitor stand that Deltrus recommended. And a desk I only paid $80 for via craigslist lol. Unfortunately had to make a cutout on the backside for the monitor stand. Not a big deal.

Got my Schiit yesterday, spent around half of the afternoon listening to music.

It's honestly my first time listening to music where I'm able to hear EVERYTHING happening in a song.

It's so... pure, so beautiful!

That is some pretty sexy Schiit.
Nice choice on the DT990's to accompany that setup.

Got to love those Beyerdynamic velour pads. Too bad my old DT770's headband kept making my head ache, despite two weeks worth of initial book training to relieve the clamp tension. I ended up picking up some AD900x's and have been in love since. Perhaps I should look into fitting my AD900x with Beyerdynamic velour pads.

Got a new rig few months back:
(it's still WIP, i bought the most expensive/important things first)

CPU: Intel i7 4770K stock
GPU: ASUS Radeon R9 290 DirectCU II 4GB OC edition
RAM: Crucial 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz > picked the most cheapest ram, will replace it later on
SSD: Kingston SSDnow V300 60GB (Just for windows and Dayz/ArmA)
HDD: Western Digital 500GB Caviar Green 5400rpm-7200rpm
A crappy mini-itx motherboard > replace it later
Cheap case: Corsair 300R > will replace it with a 750D or 760T
PSU: Corsair CX600M (probably keep this, and upgrade later when i go crossfire.)
Monitor: Dell U2913WM 2560x1080 (i'll keep it and safe for a 4K display in the future)

What i still want/need:

High-end speakers, m-audio bx5 or bx6 carbon with a m-audio sbx10 340w active subwoofer.
Mechanical keyboard and mouse
Soundcard, probably the Soundblaster Z
New case.
high end motherboard.
high end memory.

Second Asus R9 290 DCII/OC videocard.

On the topic of audio...rushed photo of my latest purchase, a Logitech UE Boom Box.



The rise of portable bluetooth speakers has been pretty nuts and made it really hard for me to pick one...especially considering I had no plans to use it with bluetooth, always aux input/line-in. This was the only one out of the 4-5 other competing players (Jambox, Sony, Braven, etc) I tested in-store where my Cowon J3 or Galaxy S4 wasn't too weak as aux input. The build quality feels rock-solid...perhaps not as sturdy as Braven products (all-metal lol) but good enough with it's one-piece metal handle.

As expected the bass was overpowered through the roof (oh Logitech) to the point where I had to greatly lower it below normal on my J3's EQ to achieve any kind of balance.
Overall VERY happy with the purchase, this thing cranks out some serious volume considering the size! The battery lasts at least 4-5 hours at decent volume, can freely move it around the house or take it anywhere with me e.g. for workout/gym, guitar practice, parties, short trips to places, etc but usually I have it plugged into somewhere.

Have an issue trying to calibrate the one color range, the one highlighted by a red square. So it wasn't exactly a total success for calibration.
I might check out CalMAN software.

My other monitor on the other hand is a complete mess to calibrate. It does have like, 27k or 28k hours on on it.

Not sure how you people get bad quality pictures with the Samsung Galaxy S4... do you not have it set to take high res pictures?

Example with my Galaxy S4...



Not sure why yours is so grainy.
