I posted a thread a couple days ago asking for amp recommendations for around $100, but it got me thinking afterwards. Would I be better off actually looking for an amp (possibly mini3 or something around there) or getting a DAC or perhaps even upgrading my soundcard? Now I am not sure if I would be able to get a DAC for around $100.
I don't own any amp or DAC, but the soundcard that I currently own is: Realtek
(some soundcard info):
" 1. Realtek ALC888 codec
2. High Definition Audio
3. 2/4/5.1/7.1-channel
4. Support for S/PDIF In/Out
5. Support for CD In "
By the way - This would be in conjunction with a DT880. I really want the most efficient option of the 3 that will help the most. There is no way I can afford to buy all 3 new things. Just remember that my budget is about $100. I do not plan on going past that....
Thanks fellas.
