What sound card for AKG K702 Reference

Thread Starter 

Got a AKG K702 as a gift. Plugging in that into the mother board sound card does not do justice and at the same time do not want to blow 1K on a USB DAC. What are my options when it comes to sound cards. Is the HT Omega CLARO halo my only option ?

 

What are the options when it comes to USB DAC's  in the 200 - 300 price range ?

 

Thanks

 

Jay

I just picked up the E-mu 0404 and am quite happy with it thus far. It's very revealing from what I can tell. If you decide to pick one up just make sure you pick up an amp as well because the onboard amp is not that good especially for a k70X.

 

If you look around you can still find them for under $150 on ebay.

 

Good luck!
