I'm currently looking for some new cans, to replace my 10+ year old HD515s:

In the event that I don't find anything suitable second hand, I'm looking at getting either some HD598s or DT990s from Amazon which both seem to have pretty good sales on at moment - if I'm reading the packaging details and youshop correctly I think I can land either of them for around $250NZD.
But which one? I currently DON'T have a standalone headphone DAC\amp, though my soundcard (ASUS Xonar) has one built it. I'd be using them for a mix of mostly music and gaming. Comfort is important, and for these the HD515s have been awesome, so I guess that's a tick in the box for the HD598s as they look like pretty similar form factor... I'm not really an audiophile but would still like something decent. Any thoughts?
