500+ Head-Fier
I am thinking about upgrading my sound card. Currently, I have a Creative X-Fi Titanium. I just got some DT 770's (80 ohm) that are not being driven properly by this, and I might get some higher impedence headphones in the future (Sennheiser HD 650's), so I was looking at the ASUS Xonar Essence STX. I play music and games equally, although the games I typically play don't require positional audio. I was reading the STX Head-Fi page, and the recommended settings talk about ASIO and WASABI and Foobar and this is where I got lost. I'm a super newbie so bear with me but, am I supposed to use one of these...drivers...I think? How do I get them? Are they necessary?
