    Hi, 
    I bought this amp from yourselves a while back, so have a couple of questions please.

    Preamble: I already have a pair of Audio Technica ATHM50X and I love the sound, but the casing is a bit creaky. I want to upgrade these, keeping the over ear, wired and closed approach. In my Dads' corner usually someone's watching TV nearby so, I like to keep my sound in, and their sound out :) . I don't plan on using these in a mobile fashion.

    So, 
    1. If I were to get my hands on a pair of Beyerdynamic DT990 (250 ohms), would the CXA60 support that?
    2. Do you have any of them in stock :)

    I notice on your site that the next Beyerdynamic headphones up in price are near the 450GBP mark, and that's too much of a jump up for me.

    Thanks

    Hi RebelButtMunch.

    Thanks for coming back to us :)

    The DT990 (250 ohms) would work with the CXA60.
    They are a special order product and not normally held in stock. We only order them as required.
    This could take 7-10 to arrive to us here a the Belfast Store.

    There is also DT990 (32 Ohm) priced at £169

    Let me know your thoughts.

    Hey RebelButtMunch.

    Best price would be the 199 Euro delivered.

    They are a low margin product for us unfortunately.
