Hey. I got the AKG K550s, I have used em mostly with my laptop at uni but decided to get some iems for that instead. So now im plugging them into my gaming computer at home instead, the only problem now is low sound and lack of elements in the sound. I understand this is due to the bad onboard soundcard.
So what is is best for me to do now, is it to get a soundcard in the 150$ or to get an amp. I have heard that the Audinst HUD-mx1(180$)is good, but to expensive for me right now. Or would something like the NUFORCE UDAC 2 - HEADPHONE AMP/DAC (100$)be good enough?
Open to input on other devices aswell. Only problem is that im from Norway and the lack of brands.......
Thanks in advance and just some links to the 2 mentioned.
