I just received my new ones from amazon yesterday and after playing a CD on repeat for 12 hours gave them a listen.
First impressions are excellent sound and comfortable to wear, the cable might need to be uncoiled for a while, it feels a little different from the cable on my Beyer 880 Edition 250 Ohm model. The treble peak is there but may somewhat diminish over time ?
I didn't see these measured by many folks online.
After reviewing the diyaudioheaven specs for the 990 Edition I adjusted the sound with my Schitt Loki 4 band EQ, I didn't see any other EQ suggestions online after searching.
3db + boost at 20Hz. no boost/cut at 400, a 1.75db boost at 2K and a 5.75 db cut at 8K.
Soundstage is a tad different from the 880's , but still, very similar.
Midrange and treble are very clear and lifelike.
I have no trouble driving these 600 Ohm phones from my CD player, Schitt Magni3 , or my Little Dot Mk2+. Halfway up on the volume control to my typical listening ranges.
I also have the Beyer 770 Pro 250 Ohm phones which replaced my AT M50 (non X )
The 880's replaced my Audio Technica AT-AD 900 phones a year or 2 ago.
