I'll be getting an iMac soon to make music. I heard that the soundcard isn't that good, and I don't want bad sound or crackling when making songs. I was thinking of getting an external soundcard, or a hifi man ef2a. Since it's usb, couldn't the amp be used as a soundcard too? I'm thinking of getting beyerdynamics in the future also. I don't know which to buy, i'm new to this forum and i'm not that good with audio stuff. thanks!

Try doing a bit more reading so you understand the differences between a DAC/Amp/Soundcard before asking this kind of question or you'll just be confused with the answers. There's plenty of information on this forum, use the search function as your friend.
