USB-C / Power Delivery 2.0 DAC/AMP
The dac/amp addon for the new lg g5 actually has a USB C option so that it can be used separately from the phone. There is a YouTube video somewhere of a guy using it with his nexus 6p. It's not exactly what you wanted, but it's also probably the best thing we are going to get in a while...- Thompd15

Ordered new headphones, need help on pc setup
Thanks cel, you have been a great help. Think i will do just as you said. I'm pretty new to this and i'm upgrading from a pair of turtle beach hpa2 as my headset and bose IE2 for my on-the-go listening; I'm pretty anxious to see the kind of audio the momentums will introduce me too. Thanks again!- Thompd15

Ordered new headphones, need help on pc setup
So just to be certain, my best bet would be to get the titanium HD's as my DAC and then get an amp with an impedance around the targeted 2.25 ohms. Which amp would you guys suggest for the momentums? Thanks again for the input guys, i really appreciate it.- Thompd15

Ordered new headphones, need help on pc setup
Thanks for the excellent reply, this appears to be the conclusion I'm seeing posted in some other threads as well. Any recommendations for a decent dac under $100. I'm thinking a good start would be to get the titanium. would it make sense to get a dac in the future and use it only during...- Thompd15

Thanks for the help, the akgs seem pretty good, but so do the sennheisers. Has anyone here happened to use the momentums or the k550/551 for gaming?- Thompd15

++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
After looking around I found that the k550s and the mdr-1r both look pretty solid. I like the idea of a bigger sound stage from the k550s but I'm afraid it will leak too much and be too hard to use o the the go. What do you guys think: Momentum, k550 or mdr-1r- Thompd15

++ FULL-SIZE HEADPHONE RECOMMENDATIONS THREAD++ CLOSED: Please post a thread in the Introductions, Help and Advice forum
Hey everyone, I was looking to replace my gaming headset(turtle beach hpa2) with a higher end headset. However, after a bit of research it appears I would be better off getting some good headphones and a cheap mic. So now I'm looking to replace both my headset for gaming/movies/music and my...- Thompd15
