Now that you mention it, wouldn't I be able to just get the Sound Blaster Z and then use the Schiit Magni amp? It wouldn't make the bass bloated because of the low impendance and it would be perfect. I can then get the Modi DAC at a later date.

What sound card do you recommend for me? I am getting a Philips Fidelio X1 headset. I currently have no dac or amp but I might buy that later down the road. Currently, I need to get a good sound card as my X1's will be used in competitive gaming a lot and a sound card would majorly help.

I'll definitely be getting the X1's then. Thanks for the help. The sound card I am having trouble choosing as I am looking around but can't seem to find which surround sound is better: the SBZ's CMSS-3D or Asus's Dolby Surround Sound. I can deal with the bloating as you said it is mostly for...

I have two questions on the Asus sound cards. First of all, I have heard that the front out jack for the Asus DX is 100 ohms. Is this true? Also, I have heard their drivers are horrible compared to the drivers of other brands. They are rarely updated and don't works sometimes. Is this true as...

Is there anything you can do so that the bass doesn't become bloated? I plan on getting the Sound Blaster Z sound card but you and PurpleAngel mentioned that it would be bloated. Would it still be worth it considering I listen to rap and hip-hop about 95% of the time? Also, is there a DAC I can...

My last concern has to do with accessories. I already know the mic I am getting but I have no idea about amps and sound cards. I am about to buy the parts for my own PC and have heard a lot about sound cards recently. I have heard many people saying you must get a sound card and some say that it...

Thanks for the amazing reply! Now that I have read more about them, I would prefer the X1's as they seem to be the same as the DT990's but have fixed the little mistakes that the 990 had. I have one last question though. How exactly do these perform to other gaming headsets? Are headsets like...

I am getting my own PC so I will most likely add a soundcard to my PC then. Thanks for the help. About the headset, though, do you recommend I get the X1's? I don't really know what it means when the bass is bloated and slow but I know that it doesn't sound good. What exactly is "bass" and what...

Hey guys! I am looking for a new headset + mic combo for home. I am a huge gamer and love to listen to rap and hip-hop (lots of both male and female vocals) when I'm not gaming. I am on my PC many hours a day so I need a durable and comfortable headset. I looked through Mad Lust Envy's HUGE...
