I'm planning on picking up a pair of HD-650s and a Gilmore amp from Headamp (either a GS-1 or a Lite) for use with my computer. I'm currently using a laptop which I'm selling this month to pay for a desktop. What's the best sound card for this headphone setup?
I have an Audigy 2 ZS left over from my last desktop, but I'm willing to buy a better card if there is one available. I will be listening to 128kb MP3s/AACs via iTunes, DVD movies via PowerDVD 6 Deluxe, and various computer games (FEAR, HL2, etc.). I may upgrade to a dedicated CD player down the road, but that's a different story. As far as music I listen to - everything. Country, pop, oldies, soundtracks, whatever. I'm open to PCI, USB, and Firewire sound cards. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
