Need a bit of help

Thread Starter 

I need some help with my setup.

I got a new job where I have to travel allot so I have to rely on a laptop as my main pc for awhile.

1. I am getting ad700's for gaming are there any good usb sound cards that will offer a good gaming experience with sufficient sound placement and seperation for fps games?

2. How do I go about getting good sounding music out of a laptop and android phone on a budget of around $150 I can spend on a usb soundcard, dac, and amp? Is this even possible?

3. Also is there any online music stores with a wide selection other than itunes to get good bitrate music?

 

Sorry I am somewhat of a noob about this stuff.

Thanks for any help.

1. For surround sound gaming with your AD700s, look into the Astro Mixamp. The following thread has lots more info:

2. Maybe something like the FiiO E7, or Headroom Total BitHead. You can use it as a USB DAC/amp with the laptop, or as a portable amp for the android phone.

 

3. Amazon.com, if you're in the US.
