Can you drive DT880s with a Sennheiser EPOS GSX 1000 Gaming Headset Amplifier

Hi,

as per title can you properly drive Beyerdynamics DT880pros (250Ohm) with the Sennheiser EPOS GSX 1000 Gaming Headset Amplifier. Games via virtual surround and music / movies etc.

on various internal sound cards you can see in the specs something like "600Ohm Amp" but cant find anything for GSX external amp

Thanks for input

Any "up to xxx ohms" is barely half truth marketing BS.
Ohms don't tell even half of how demanding cans are.

But so is that "amplifier" hype of those GSXes also marketing BS.
Used Conexant sound chip is literally meant for phones, tablets and such generic devices!

As result despite of Sennheiser brand overhype price it's comparable to basic level sound cards.
Both in headphone output capability and DAC.
And while 250 ohm DT990 (same driver with different tuning/enclosure) certainly work with basic Realtek, there just isn't any sense in those brand hype overprices.

Sound BlasterX G6, whose B-stock Creative sells for £70, is completely superior in both DAC and has actually good headphone amplifier laughing at 250 ohm Beyers.

Thank you. Appreciate the detailed response. Ill look into a G6.

quick update, ended up picking up a brand new G6 Black Friday weekend for £80 and very happy I did. Virtual Surround Sound is a huge improvement over the Essence STX card. Music and everything else is at least same level. Thank you for the recommendation!
