Hi Everyone,
Super glad I found this forum, been reading through posts most of today.
I have been specing out a new PC designed around the Oculus Rift. My wife and I are really excited to put this together. I am not an audio expert especially in regards to headphones. However any immersive experience requires solid immersive audio so I have been looking at information all weekend. Anyway here is what I am thinking will make a quality system:
Asus Essence STX II 7.1
Bererdymanic DT 880 Pro headphones.
My needs require great soundstage and positional surround audio. My questions are:
1) Will the Asus Essence STX II power higher impedance headphones? Documentation states that it will work with up to 600 ohm.
2) Should I invest in an amp and will that change sound quality or effect surround sound?
Thanks
