Hey guys, have a few questions,
While I don't consider myself an audiophile by any means, I do enjoy a decent sounding pair of headphones for my PC. I currently have a pair of HD555's, and their my only real experience with high(ish) end phones. However, lately I've been wondering if I'm missing out, so with that in mind heres my questions.
I'm currently driving the 555's with the headphone out jack on my Logitec 5.1's. I can only guess its amplifying the cans as the volume difference between this and plugging them directly into the sound card (xfi) is pretty big. As I don't really have anything to reference it too, would it be worth it for me to invest in a good headphone amp? Would it be a noticeable difference to my undiscerning ears, or can the headphone out do everything I need?
Thanks!!
