first post... need some help with pending purchase
i'm looking to buy hd650's but i'd love someone to answer the following questions or link me to further reading (i've spent an hour or so searching)
- I'm looking at getting a ld mkIII amp, any issues with this choice?
- if i buy a DAC can i use it as a sound card to hear other sounds on my pc?
- if above is true does having a sound card still help?
- if i end up with a dac, amp, and a sound card how does everything hook up?
- any other stuff i'll need? (cabling etc)
i'll be listening to various music and gaming
current setup
headphones: hd485's
this mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813188026
this sound card Amazon.com: Creative Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External - Sound card - 24-bit - 96 kHz - 5.1 - USB: Electronics
thanks in advance
