Sorry for the detour.
A DAC turns the digital audio data into an analogue audio signal, which can then (after some amplification) drive your headphones. You can find extensive information on the net (Google...). Every soundcard has one. Or you can use a seperate external DAC which is generally the more expensive option (with potentially higher quality).
How much are you willing to invest for your new setup?

Well it depends on the quality difference that i will get..
But lets say around £100=$160..?
Would that be 'enough'? i know its not enough but i think i should start with a smaller setup for now, see how that goes and then upgrade.
That way ill appreciate more the sound that im getting as i slowly progress.
I also will need quality cables for the whole thing..
The gear that i have is in my sig, but i dont want to listen to my ipod while im at home, would kinda beat the whole 'portable' idea.
I downloaded all the programs that i need to rip in quality format, FLAC, EAC, plugins, dbpoweramp, foobar2k and the rest.
Ill stay awake tonight and try to put into work all the new info i got today from you guys..
Head-Fi has become my new 'home' where i spend a lot of time while im online..
Trully a nice society, and i love music so much..
Thanks for the site guys.
