Budget: 2000-3000
Do I also need a sound-card? I play a lot of video games (first person shooters) ....do I get a sound card just for that? Or should I use whatever I'm using for music-listening purposes? Soundstage/positional cues matter. Obviously look doesn't matter for this since it will be in computer.
Note!!: Looking for any ideas for products that fit the whole mid-century/eames/vitsoe aesthetic. minimalist/not too many buttons/knobs on front, small-ish logo if at all in the front
DAC/AMP: It's better to get a separate dac and amp, correct?
-Lots of classical music, tubes preferred. Portability does not matter.
-Something that looks like the MC275, Zana Deux, Peachtree audio, little dot MK VIII SE, woo audio wa5, glowamp.
-Ideal budget is 1500, though I might be talked into 2000. Depending on other things I get.
-Also about how much more will it add to my normal energy bill? Just curious. And how much hotter?
Headphone Stand: Anything besides the sieveking Omega and Woo Audio?
-If there are alternative everyday items that I can repurpose as stands too I'm open to that
-I don't have to factor this into my original budget since it should be under 100
Headphones: less than 1k, ideally under 500. Budget depends on how much I spend everywhere else.
-Probably leaning towards DT880's, HE500, Audeze LCD-2, T1.
-I already have a pair of Ultrasone 2400's I use for gaming but I'm not too fond of the sound signature. Might resell it soon.
