Sorry, for some reason your original post did not show for me. Thats disheartening, but I guess I will have to live with it.
Thanks for your responses.

So Chicolom,
after you cleansed your inventory (which you already plan to start of course): K812 or HD 800?
This guide is truly wonderful. It first lead me to the sens hd598 and recently to the k702 annies. Both are fantastic.
I have a question, is it possible to remove the hiss from mixamps? I used to be only a pc gamer, but since I started console gaming with some friends, I picked up a mixamp. But I have been pretty let down with its performance compared to my pc setup.
What I was thinking, maybe using the mixamp as a preamp might remove the hiss? But before I spend the money I wanted to see if anybody has experience with that setup.
The only way to reduce the hiss, is to have a headphone with high impedance or low sensitivity, that mitigates hiss. Like the AKGs, Beyerdynamics, and even low efficiency planars like the HE-4.

No, I am using the annies for my pc setup(xonar essence stx). I am testing some denon d600s right now with the mixamp, I also still have the senn hd598s for it.
But with that setup you have, do you have hiss? I have traced the source of the hiss down to the power cable for the mixamp. I have tried multiple cables, and multiple power sources and some are better than others but the hiss is definitely still there.
Looks like it would be a good idea to invest in a sound card for PC gaming then huh?
AVR whats that?Yes... unless you have a good AVR, a soundcard makes more sense than an external device like the Mixamp.
