Recently I got my AKG K7XX from Massdrop.
However, i found the sound very unsatisfying:
Using Creative Sound Blaster Z soundcard, the sound is muddy, unatural, i find myself most of the time pushing the volume knob way up then I should.
In games the soundstage is OK, but not as clear and crisp as my older Audio Tehnica AD700.
So, what now, is it the fault of the soundcard? Is it worth spending 100$+ for a dac\amp combo for headphones that I dont think I even like, yet it still might be an improvent, but perhaps too minor?
Should I just get a pair of easier to drive AD900X? (I loved my older AD700, but its time for an upgrade).
I use my headphones for 60% gaming 40% music.
Thank you in advance .
