Either burn-in works, or I've been had by the placebo effect, but the treble is definitely not as crazy as it was out of the box (burn-in consisted of 4 days of my music library on shuffle). I love the treble. Makes the hi-hats and other cymbals pop.
I have the 250ohm version of the DT990 '05 (Premium) and I usally run it off a Nuforce uDac2 from my computer. Doesn't sound anywhere near as great as when it is plugged into my dad's preamp. It's still good off the DAC, but I know it can be better. So I think a good amp really matters with these headphones.
For iPod/unamped use, I think you should get a set a less resistive/more sensitive setup.
