Ok well upto about 3 days ago I had no idea there was even such a thing as a headphone amp. Needless to say I stumbled on to these forums and was amazed that there was even such a community!
Anyway, my new computer is coming in the New Year, so what better than to order some new Headphones to go with the new computer so I've ordered some Sennheiser HD580's.
Now heres where I need your help, I play games about 10-15% of my time on the computer and music for the rest so I need a sound card which is fairly decent for music and gaming, so what are your opinions on a sound card for me?
I also understand I need a 'dac' so yeah what would you recommend for me. I guess I may aswell use this post to ask what amp I should get aswell.
I don't want to break the bank as I thought the 130 for the headphones was quite a lot however I realise that good parts don't come cheap. I wouldn't be against DIY as it could be a nice project for over the Christmas Holidays!
Thanks for the help in advance!
