My primary focus is playing PC Games with virtual surround sound. As such, I'm trying to weight the following options as to how much to spend on which "package". The packages are effectively as follows:
Package A ( my current setup ) FREE
On-board Realtek sound
Sennhesser HD201s
+ Free
- Crappy sound
Package B ( potential gaming package ) $200
Creative Titanium HD $100
Audio Technica AD700 $200
+ CMSS Virtual Surround Sound
+ No need to spend extra on heaphone amp
Package C ( potential ultimate gaming package ) $500
Creative Titanium HD $100
AKG Q701 $240
O2 Headphone Amp $150
+ CMSS Virtual Surround Sound
+ Better headphones that supposidly would last longer than the AD700 (?)
+ Better audio experience
- Q701s need the Headphone Amp, so portability is compromised
- $300 more than package B
My question here would be. Is spending an extra $300 to go from package B to package C going to provide me a significant difference in audio quality when it comes to games?
