thank you for your reply scootermafia. your posts have been very usefull for me because i can see that you have much knowledge in this area through the forum and yourself with not so expensive amps. i know that my audigy2 is not a good source and im upgrading it also. im just not shure yet if...

thank you for your usefull reply scootermafia. i can at this time only afford 1 amp and i think it is better if i choose a tube amp for the hd650 instead of a ss in the same price range. i like the warm sound i get with the hd650 conneted to my audigy2 (i will upgrade this now too with the...

an answer from skylab would be great! so with the built in standard tube you dont like the 336SE that much?(i would have to use standard for some time, no time for that rolling etc) im thinking about getting a darkvoice amp because i red much here that they play very good with the hd650...

hi, does anyone know when this card will be available in germany or somewhere else in europe? seems to be interesting. anyone testet this card directly with hd650 without anything else like extern dac or amp? how are the results? how good is the dac on this card compared to the esi...

any1 compared corda arietta to darkvoice 336se using hd650 headphones?

anyone can tell me about the difference between the 336se (229$) and 3322 (439$). im not shure wich one to get and have low budget, but if the 3322 is much better i would consider that one. i will use them with hd650.

@alai in germany no problem to get it. ESI Juli@, PCI Preisvergleich bei Geizhals.at Deutschland test prelude vs juli@ for musik only would be interesting, caus with the prelude you could also play games etc very good as bonus.

had to bump this great thread (thx), but still not shure if a external dac in 300-500$ range is better as the dac in the prelude/esi juli@/emu/xonar etc.

i will buy a good headphone amp anyway, so a amp in the card or dac is not neccessary. i dont think those all in one solution are as good as a good headphone amp like the darkvoice tube amps but i will need a good dac to use them. so i need suggestions how the dacs in...

hi guys, im a little confused with this soundcard/dac stuff and looking for help. i want to use a hd650 headphone (i have already and used it with audigy2 for a few years) connected to a headphone amp (i think i will get a darkvoice tubeamp 336 or 337) for listening to music (queen). for...
