    Opinions about HD 555, HD 25-1 and Atrio M5

    I am seriously considering selling my Atrio M5 iems, because IEM's are not my thing. Comfortable listening is important for me. In that case I would have to get some closed cans to listen when I am on the move. Best cans in that case would be the sennheiser hd 25-1 II IIRC. In which case the...

    Hi, I wonder what to which sound card to take for my notebook. It's mainly for use with my speakers/amp, who are 30 years old. So the DAC and line out quality is most important to me.
