My setup:
PC
Soundcard = theatron DD (crap I think, it costs me 40 euros 1 year ago)
Little Dot MKIII
Sennheiser 650
I only listen music through my PC.
Now I have been lurking on these forums for quite some time, and decided the time was right to buy the little dot mkIII and the 650 phones. It sounds great so far, although I have nothing to compare with. I could compare it to my "gaming headset" that I bought not long ago for 200 euros, but those were a total joke, it felt like I was scammed. Through my dissapointed I researched some more why "gaming" headsets were teh suck and now I am enjoying a lot more with the low budget setup (MKIII + 650) I got now.
Now I am a little confused here, do I need a DAC or not? I also game but I dont mind switching to a DAC when i listen music, and switch back to my soundcard when I game.
I also dont understand (no offense
) why there isnt a large sticky for noobs for the most basic stuff. I seriously had to google my ass of what a DAC is, what it does, and when and why to get it (and things arent still clear today for me). PreAmps, sonar asus card doesnt need an amp etc. All very confusing. Ok Ill stop with the noobwhining,
So should I get a DAC or not with this setup?
my budget is 150 euros.
