Hi there.
My HD 598 headphone is connected to an Asus xonar u1.
Do you guys think I'm getting the most out of my headphones. I don't have a ton of more money to spend but will only spend if it will help me a lot. I play games mostley and can't install a sound card in my pc at the moment as I'm running 2x graphics cards and it's blocking my pci-e ports. So will adding an external amp benefit me in any way. AS you can see below it looks like it can do 50 ohms
my motherboard and sound card details below
