Greetings,
Note: My budget is $500-$600. I have extremely limited listening experience. My current setup is a pair of Logitech G35s. My primary use of this headset is Skype, WoW, metal music, electronic music, and some classical. I have already ordered the HD650s. I am confident in this purchase and, based off of research here on Head-Fi, feel I will be very pleased with them. Remember, I am not an audiophile (yet).
I am going to be purchasing a pair of HD650s and was planning on pairing it an ASUS Xonar Essence STX sound card. I can get both items for about $500. I am already confident that running the HD650s from the Xonar Essence STX will be a direct upgrade from my Logitech G35s so I will be pleased even without a dedicated amp. I do have plans to purchase an amp in the future, but for now I am starting small.
I also had the idea of purchasing the HD650s and the Schiit Asgard. I would then be using my motherboard as the source. The Asgard has a great price and would be within my budget.
What would give a more noticeable upgrade from my Logitech G35s, the HD650 + Schiit Asgard, or the HD650 + Xonar Essence STX?
