500+ Head-Fier
I use my computer as the main source for music. Right now I run the xitel hifi prolink to a PPA headphone amp to HD650. I'd like to upgrade the source a bit, since the xitel is probably not the greatest source. What would you recommend? External or internal soundcard? Is the E-MU a considerable step up? Should I swing for the highest model 1820m or is the 1212/0404 enough for headhones? What exactly are the differences between those soundcards?
Any other options for good soundcards or would a USB DAC be a better idea? I'm just clueless on what would provide me with the best sound. Help would be greatly appreciated.
