I just got my AD700 headphones in and am currently modding them up. Im thinking though that I will need to do some additional set up to get them functioning to the best of their ability.
I am currently using the on-board sound, and as on-board sound goes it is really quite good, but I am doubting that will suffice.
I would like to really take advantage of the huge soundstage the AD700s have. What is the best way to go about setting up a 5.1 set up for them or is it even necessary?
I could go grab a new sound card, astro amp, or audioengine D1 DAC but am not sure which is the correct purchase.
What do you guys recommend? I will also be using the set up for music quite a lot, but its main purpose is to thrive as a gaming tool. I looked at the FiiO E17 but thought it would make more sense to get either the astro amp or the audioengine D1 but hey I could be wrong about that as well.
I do not plan on hooking my AD700s up to my PS3 but I might use a portable with my ipad so the D1 or FiiO would be good for that.
