Okay I know this is bais but Ive tried every damn page on google and its not fixing anything. My pc dont output sound at all. I got a xonar essence stx with a headphone amp an 250 ohm headphone, recently did an upgrade with my cpu but not no sound at all. Drivers up to date, hardphones...

Title says the topic, would be paired with Asus Xonar essence STX as source. Mainly for gaming (sound whoring) and general music (metal,rock) witch is better? I'm not sure about what kind of sound I like, probably with good base.   edit: Or anny suggestions in that price range

Worth buying 250 Ohm version for gaming at 170$ price tag over Q701 at 240$? What should I buy to drive those the DT990? Kinda have to hurry cause the sale end in 2 hours I think

ASUS Xonar DG and E10 would be good?

Quote: Like?

So Q701 + Audinst HUD-MX1 for about 420$ mainly for gaming, won't regret it?  

170$ to drive those headphone, what should I get sound card with amp or DAC/Amp ?  

Quote: How about Titanium HD?

About to buy those big boys, what Should I get to drive them (No need for portable use) ? I'm currently using onboard audio, so was wondering if an DAC/AMP should I get or a PCIe soundcard?

Man thanks for the help, still don't know what headphone to buy :/ edit:  Titanium HD seems like isn'T a good buy for the price on more then 1 review :/

So I would not need an headamp or it's still recommanded since the Ti HD support up to 300 Ohm?

Isn't a DAC an external soundcard right? what what TiHd is?

arn't amp required to drive 50+ Ohm headphone?

Quote: Asus Xonar STX Or the the Audioengine D1 DAC/AMP?

At this point I was thinking about the Audioengine D1 Paired with either HD 598 or HD 585 Or the AKG Q701 Or even HiFiMan HE-300 Headphones. On those, witch would fit more a large soundstage and a good bass?

Hi, I'm currently shopping an audio setup, more precisely a pair of  headphone. My current setup is Onboard sound card, with some LogitechG35 Usb gaming headset. They are getting old, drivers pissed me off most of the time and the sound quality isn't that great. Not to mention that they started...
