I have a headphone tube amp (Schiit) and a two channel integrated tube amp. The magic warm up time for both amps is about 10 mins. My M22's just love, and I mean LOVE the warmth of tubes. I have a SET amp using EL34-B power tubes. Tubes maybe not for everyone but I highly recommend to give tube amps a try. Plus, tube rolling is a hoot and they (tubes) glow at night.

I was just looking at a Schiit Valhalla this morning online.

I LOVE the idea of a tube headphone amp and a nice pair of cans... but the reality of using them 3X a year tells me the price isn't worth it!

There was some discussion not too long ago about the Schiit Asgard deforming headphones with large amounts of DC current when shut off...I'd stay away from that model in particular.

I have the Beyer DT 990's 600 Ohm cans. The Schiit Valhalla and the Beyer DT990 are a combo made in heaven. I have not had this much fun in audio in years!!! Now, back to my Brooklyn Lager.

Headphones have slowly become my favorite way to listen to music.

If your getting tube headphone amps which will have an high output impedance, high impedance headphones (like your 600 ohm Beyers) is the way to go. They will sound amazing.
