I plan to buy HD 560 S this week for FPS games (Warzone with Dolby Atmos).
Which one of these devices do you recommend me to buy for these headphones (in the future I'll buy another headphone for music and open world games)?
Schiit Hel 2 or Creative AE-5 Plus or ifi Zen Dac v2?

For games and music...get this used AKG Q701, dac/amp, and modmic usb and use the money that you saved on more games/music :

The Schiit Hel is good and lots of power, but there's a waiting list last time I checked. I'd recommend checking EVGA web site to see if the have any more refurb Nu Audio cards for 69 bucks, much nicer than the AE-5 with it's ak4493 DAC and more power. Creative has a factory refurb page with the AE-5 for $79 or the G6 for $99 with shipping and 3 month warranty.
