Hi,
I have a pair of Sennheiser HD555 headphones and an older PC that only has PCI slots.
I've been searching for a soundcard sutiable for 2 channel listening that has a good quality DAC.
The Audiophile 2496 has been recommended but it only has line level out and I don't want an external headphone amp (already use an Icon on my main PC).
What other PCI soundcards should I look at that are suitable for connecting the HD555 headphones to without an amp (if I had a PCI-e slot I would get the new ASUS essense card)?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Cheers!
