    Setting up my first sound setup, would this work? (I'm a beginner)

    So I'm about to set up a somewhat simple sound system at home, mainly for music but also for movies and gaming. This is my first time in doing so and would like to know if this sounds like it would work or if I should change anything. Units: Desktop 2.0 Bose Companion 20 active computer...

    HD650 - Would the amp in Xonar STX be enough? (beginner)

    As the Schiit amps would add 70$ shipping and taxes I stayed away from them and went with Meier Corda Jazz which I've only read good reviews of :) Thank you everyone for your help.

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Hey everyone, I've just ordered the HD650 and was wondering what amp + dac you would recommend. I would like to keep it under 300$ if possible. I'm considering the Maverick Synaudio D1 + Xonar DX as I've read that they go well together (I'm also going to connect my Bose Companion 20 computer...

    HD650 - Would the amp in Xonar STX be enough? (beginner)

    If I'm not mistaken, the Maverick D1 is both an amp and a DAC. I've read from different places that the D1 is great with HD650, maybe that + Xonar DX would do the trick? Both the Xonar DX and the Maverick D1 does have a DAC built in, would that affect the sound quality in any way? If you compare...

    HD650 - Would the amp in Xonar STX be enough? (beginner)

    HD650 - Would the amp in Xonar STX be enough? (beginner)

    I can get the HRT HeadStreamer and the Audioengine D1 for a pretty good price. Would the Asus Xonar DX + HRT Headstreamer/Audioengine D1 + HD650 be a good combination? Would you recommend the HRT over the D1 or vice versa? Thank you again.

    HD650 - Would the amp in Xonar STX be enough? (beginner)

    Thank you for your reply. I would like to keep it under 300$ for equipment other than the hd650, although i can stretch it if there is a better option for slightly more.

    HD650 - Would the amp in Xonar STX be enough? (beginner)

    I'm thinking of buying the HD650 and Xonar STX Essence as I now have a couple of good computer speakers (Bose Companion 20) and want to give them the source they deserve. The STX seem attractive because of the built-in amp, but would it be enough to drive the HD650? If not, could you recommend...
