Hi
 
I recently bought a PS4 and the only option for me sound wise was 
 
to connect my headphones into the controller, which is not very good
 
and has little volume.
 
Now I was thinking about buying a FiiO E17 amp/dac and connecting 
 
that to my PS4 and then plugging my headphones into the E17. Would that
 
give my better sound and more volume? Also I plan to buy the HD650 down the road
 
and would the E17 be a good amp choice? If you know of any better and cheaper amp could you tell me?

I've got the setup they're talking about (ps4 - optical cable - FiiO e17) and it works beutifully. I'd answer your other questions but there's others on here that know waay more than I do.

I use the E17 with my laptop as the onboard sound has lots of static/noise and some "Beats" processing crap that I don't want. I think it works great. I'd imangine it would work just as well w/ a PS4.
