New Head-Fier
Hi, from the little red dot here. Created this acc to post more here since the sg forums for audio stuff is dead.
Without any reservation, I will suggest a Schiit Modi 3 DAC, and a Schiit Magni 3 HP amplifier, for making the music on your laptop sound as good as is possible. $198 total...and they have some b-stock listed on the Schiit site $89 each, save $20). Enjoy!Hey, everyone. New here and to audiophile audio overall... sorta...
I bought a pair of HD650s on a whim back in 2012 because I wanted to "get serious" about sound, but I've been wondering whether my hearing is too damaged from years of blasting earbuds to appreciate these cans anyway.
I've mostly been listening to music, watching movies and gaming with these from my Sony home theater receiver, which I figured were enough to drive them, but I've moved away from the living room and onto the PC.
Now I'm looking for simple solutions to get the best sound out of these from my computer's on board sound.

Hey, thanks for the reply! A lot of people seem to recommend the "Schiit stack", so I'm definitely considering it. The only thing I find a bit intimidating is the DAC. I barely even know what "bit depth, sample rate and bitrate" mean to be able to handle a DAC, and I don't want to overcomplicate myself and end up with jittery, unpleasant sound.
Someone else on a different forum directed me to a guy named Zeos on Youtube and he seemed to be fond of the JDS Labs Atom. Any thoughts on that?
