Hello guys! First I would like to say finally and I hope I find good forum witch can help me with my problem!

 I got my self new set of  beyerdynamic DT880 600OMH!!  But I have really big problem.. My SoundBlaster Recon 3d 600ohm cant power them.   My sound to low even if I raise my volume to 100!!!! I play BF4 a lot so this is the reason why I got them only for this game and because I like the style and good positive reviews! Please  guys can you really help me with AMP? I would like to connect it to my Recon3d card so I don't lose all 3D effect of positional audio. My budged 150 maybe  I  can squeeze to 200! Thank you very much! and sorry for my broken sentences English is my 3 language.

Audioengine D1 24-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter ? is this any good ? will it work with my card?

 

[Rhamnetin]

What kind of outputs does your sound card have?  

 

[said53]

I have optical out!

I hope I don't need to upgrade to new soundcard because I love Recon3d 100% accuracy of direction of enemy its like cheating!!

Rhamnetin thank you for your fast response!

Optical out will definitely let you use a DAC, but if it has two line-level RCA outputs then that will let you use just an amplifier instead, one that can easily power the headphones like the Objective2 or the Little Dot MK2.
 
I think this is said to be better than the Audioengine D1:

It has optical input and they claim it can handle 600 Ohm headphones.
