hey guys (im new here)
Im about to get a sennheiser HD595, and i was wondering if my logitech z5500 is good enough to get the best of out of the headphones.(after much research i found out that thet z5500 isnt good at all for headphones). I heard that i need something called an amp, the z5500 does have an amp but apparently its bad.
Now my question is what is an amp? how does it work? how does it hook up? does it go into the soundcard and thats it? can i use my speakers at the same time? do i just hook up an amp to my z5500 or something? im totally lost to what im suppost to do to get the best out of the 595's.
I dont have a very good soundcard (creative SB live 24bit), but im planning on getting the AuzenTech X-FI Hometheater HD HDMI 1.3 Sound Card for my pc in a couple of months. Its suppost to have a amp built in the soundcard.will that be any good? so i dont have to purchase a seperate amp just for the headphones.
lets say i do buy an amp, what else would i need? how practical would it be? as in do i have to unplug stuff before i can use the headphones or its straight forward, since i use my z5500 allot.
i am a totally new to this so please help me out. thanks in advance
