Hey I'm thinking of getting a pair of HD650's as I'm really not all that happy with my ATH-AD700's, but I was wondering whether or not I need to invest in an amp to get the most out of them when using them on my computer.
My current setup is just my ATH-AD700's connected directly into my X-Fi Prelude, will that still be good enough for the HD650's or should I buy something like the Headroom Micro.
Really, I'm just looking for the next level of audio nirvana. Should I be buying a usb DAC with these and an amp? I have very little knowledge about amps and DAC's and all, all I know thus far is what a soundcard and opamp is.
Where do I go from here (if anywhere?) to get the most out of my HD650's? If I do have to get an amp, I'd prefer one around $2-$300 if you feel inclined to make recommendations.
Thanks in advance.
