So I am a long time viewer, and first time poster on the site. This is going to be my first step into higher end audio.
I game a lot, but listen to music pretty frequently also, and watch some occasional movies/tv. Ad700's are going to be my headphones of choice.
My problem is that i'm not sure what soundcard I want. I want to get optimal performance out of the ad700's for gaming, but I also don't want to lose out on the music/video aspect either.
For the longest time i was convinced I wanted a xonar, because of their more balanced features, and struggled between picking the DG or DX. Then when i started looking around on here i saw more people leaning towards a X-fi card. My only concern about X-fi cards is that I mostly see the ad700's associated with dolby headphone, and im not sure what to make of CMSS due to my lack of knowledge between the difference of the 2 technologies.
So what do you guys think? go with a xonar? if so what card? or a Creative/auzentech? Now that I am going to be buying this week, I am frantically trying to figure this out.
All help is much appreciated .
