Sound Source: Realtek Onboard Model ALC889: http://www.realtek.com.tw/products/productsView.aspx?Langid=1&PFid=28&Level=5&Conn=4&ProdID=173 for all info.
Just want the best overall headphone-sound-experience for the money. I really don't think there should be much need to sacrifice when I'm spending nearly 400 bucks on a headphone setup, but I'm not sure what to get.
I've been looking at tons and tons of stuff, have been going back and forth with headphones that should be amped and headphones that don't need it. This is my first jump into audiophile gear and I won't to add what headphones I've been looking at to distort what you guys recommend. Feel free to recommend headphones+amp+soundcard or maybe just headphones+soundcard or possibly just headphones+amp. I do believe I have pretty good sound coming from my onboard though, I believe it's both 24 bit and 192khz sample rate, so I'm not sure if a new source will make a difference in how it sounds. Please help me out though, I'm definitely a newbie to audiophile headphones so I need to see what you guys think I should get.
