After copious amounts of research, I decided on the AKG 702 65th Anniversery Edition (if any other decent choices around $360 exist, please let me know), but it seems everybody recommends a headphone amplifier for these pair of headphones. From what I gathered, headphone amplifiers deliver power to the headphones and minimize distortion and increase volume if the headphones require a certain amount of power. However, I currently own a Creative Aurvana Live! and a Xonar DGX and I can barely handle any volume above 5 (on Windows) as my eardrums will blow if I do not lower the volume. If I listen to my headphones at such a low volume, would buying a headphone amplifier improve my experience (for a the AKG K702 "Annie")?
