Hey there,
Let me get straight to the point.
I've owned a pair of Sennheiser HD 595s for around a year now.
Being my first decent headphones I loved them right from the start.
I've always used them in combination with a Creative X-Fi Music card on my desktop.
Now I'm at uni and getting quite annoyed at the lacking quality of my laptop's audio chip.
I have no knowledge of these things at all, and quite frankly lack the time and patience to really get into it.
I was just wondering if there are some good external sound cards or anything like that I could use to boost the quality of my listening experience.
I might also be interested in getting an amp to improve the quality when using the headphones with my desktop. Would this be worth it? If it's a big improvement; would it ruin the sound of 320kbps mp3's in comparison to lossless? (would be frustrating since it's quite difficult to get my hands on lossless)
Thanks a lot in advance!
PS. Any recommendations for good music to listen to while falling asleep are always welcome! (think Riders on the Storm, the funeral march by Chopin... )
