hello there.
here is my problem i've been trying to google and read without succecs.
i im going to buy beyerdynamics 770DT pro 80ohm headphones.
And im going use them on my computer.
For now i have sony mdr-v700 hooked up to X-Fi elite pro.
if i understand correctly, the x-fi cant power the headphones.
so what can i buy to power the headphones correctly? new soundcard or a dac?
i use it mainly for music, and sometimes gaming. and the only soundwise game i play is battlefield 3. but when i play i set x-fi setting from entertainment to gaming, and dont use any other option (eax and such is disabled) and speaker settings is set to 2.1.
and that is all im using the soundcard for. so i guess it is a bit overkill in my situation.
i hope you guys understand my question, as gaming dont mean mutch except i love playing some battlefield because off all thecool audio effects.
my budget is 100-200$.
so should i get a new soundcard that can handle the headphones or a dac/amp?
