I have been a home theater enthusiast for several years and want to get a higher quality out of headphones. I have owned Audio Technica ATH-A500 for probably 6+ years now and they just don't sound all that good because I am used to my high end speakers.
After much research it seems like Sennheiser HD 650 phones are the ones to have. I listen at all types of music. My main question is whether the components I have will get me buy until I have more money for a high end amp etc.
I currently have
AV123 X-Head ampilifer
Creative X-FI Fatality (with that front I/O panel thing) (the older x-fi fatality from 2006)
M-Audio Audiophile USB
Will the X-head be able to get me by as an amp until I have money for something better? There was a review done by Skylab on head-fi saying that the x-head worked OK for the DT-880 phones, but I don't know about the HD 650.
My other question is which sound card is better? My X-Fi or the M-Audio? Which is better to use?
Thanks!
