So I decided that if I am going to upgrade my sound card I may as well upgrade the rest of my PC audio system as well (and I am sticking with PC because of games and the fact that I can store over 1TB of music/video if I where so inclined to, it is just convenient to have an all-in-one solution). So now I am looking at the upper limit of what I can do without jumping up the cost a fair bit.
This is what I am currently looking at doing:
Sound Card: ASUS Xonar D2X
Headphones: Sennheiser HD595
Amp: Sonic T-AMP 2ND Generation
This setup would cost be just under $600 CAD with shipping.
I will only be ordering from NCIX.com (for a couple of reasons) unless I can be convinced that I could gain something significant from ordering else where. This choice does however limit what hardware I can select from.
What I am really wondering now is whether or not the amp that I selected will be powerful enough to properly drive the headphones, what is the quality of the amp (reviews are hard to find), is there a better solution in a similar price range that I could easily order from Canada, and most importantly, how well will the amp work with the other components that I have selected (compatibility + sound quality)?
I appreciate any and all help.
