Which one will sound better (on 990 pro): Fiio e10 + onboard or soundblaster Z?

  Which one? I believe Creative Sound Blaster Z already comes with it.

Hi guys, now i have like 230$ to spend on headphones+amp/DAC+microphones.   DT-990 Pro 250 + Creative Sound Blaster Z (comes with mic) is a good combo? Or should i get another one?

I'm almost pretty sure that i'm going with DT 990 250 + Xonar DG - although i'm a little worried about the volume, bass and other stuff if i didn't go with the E10's. Could you explain that difference (if it is big)? And if another headphone around 170~180 dollars will benefit more from Xonar...

  I don't need headphones to be 'portable', I'll use it mostly on my PC   It's just my first step into the audiophile world, and i want a new experience. If Sony MDR-1R offers a good onboard sound, i could go for it and delay a Xonar DG purchase.

  Is there another soundcard better than the Xonar DG with similar features for ~60$?

  Many people seems to notice a lack of volume using only the asus and the beyers. I never had a 'decent' pair of headphones so i don't know how it will sound for me. I think i'm gonna stay with the Fiio E11 (only amp). Will I lose too much without a DAC?

  I will use in my desktop computer, but the Asus Xonar DG is good as a fiio? I don't have to buy another amp?

  The asus DG by itself works fine with DT 990? Or should i buy another amp (my price range is about 220 dollars and the beyers are 150$)

  What amp/dac do you recommend?     M50's costs 50 dollars less than the beyers, can i spend that difference in a better DAC/amp or should i go with 990 + Fiio E7 or E11 (still a dilemma)?

  Ok, I've done some research and i decided to go for the DT990 Pro 250 ohms + Fiio E7 OR  E11. What do you guys think?

Hi, i live in Brazil and i have this once in a year opportunity to buy things from US, and I need your help to decide what is best for me, with a price range around 200~220$   I've been looking the HD 598, 558, ATH M50 and other headphones below 200$; but plugging these in an onboard soundcard...
