Need advice on an amp/dac setup, NO BUDGET!

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I have a pair of HD 650's and also a pair of HD-25's. I do all of my listening on my gaming PC which has a fairly standard asus xonar sound card. 

 

I am basically looking to improve the listening experience in my gaming and/or music and to get the most out of my headphones. Budget is not that important to me, I do not mind spending over 1k if I will get enough of a benefit to justify the cost. So some simple questions:

 

1. Should I get a one box dac/amp solution such as the burson 160d or should I get separate components?

2. Should I go for tube or SSD? Any comments on this in relation to gaming?

3. Recommended products/combinations?

 

On a side note, if I decide to set up my gaming rig with some speakers later on, It would be good if what I buy for my headphone setup can somehow be re-used (dac/preamp).

I am currently tossing up between the burson 160D or the lehmann BCL + an external dac. Any thoughts on which of these may be more suitable? Also, if I do plan on making a switch to using speakers which setup would be better?
