Hello again Headfiers
I'm planning on buying a set of Sennheisers HD650.
Apart from the main rig (CDP and amp) I'm interested in enjoying myself with some decent listening via my PC.
My present soundcard is Creative SB Live 24bit. I've also found a good deal for a Hercules Fortissimo 4, which has quite promissing reviews over the internet (that is an upgrade option)
My question to you is the following: are any of these 2 soundcards able to decently drive the HD650? Or any other consumer soundcard within this price range (<5-60$)?
I must also mention that I'm only looking for a decent and enjoyable experience through this setup while I'm working at my PC, not a hi-end thrill. I understand the limitations (loudness, dynamic range, detail and so on) and accept them as they are.
Thank you for reading. I'm looking forward to your feedback.
