Hey guys, I'm kinda new when it comes to high-end audio so please bare with me.
Essentially this is my question, whats the best audio setup for my needs? Currently I have logitech z5500's sourced from my computer soundcard, Auzentech x-fi forte, however eventually I want to invest in some better home music/cinema speakers/immersive gaming. Now I am thinking of getting some ultrasone 900's or DT 990 premiums (unsure whether I want close or open yet) and understand It would be best for me to get a DAC and Desktop amp, these will be used for music (hip hop) and gaming also, but I am unsure of what to get. I am looking to spend around $300 or so on the DAC/AMP but thought it may be better for me to maybe get equipment that could also be used for home cinema speakers if get them? or possibly to be used with my z5500's for now in case I never get them.
It is also worth noting that I will be building a new comp soon and will be getting an ASUS Xonar essence ST
