Sorry if this is an 'entry level' question.
I've just bought a pair of Senn 280 Pros. I use them to listen to music from a PC in a shared environment (hence the closed headphones). I'm pretty disappointed with what I'm getting at the moment and I suspect it's more the fault of the PC than the phones (eg they sound better coming out of my mac). The Senns are pretty efficient and I'm getting plenty of volume but the nosie floor is terrible and there seems to be loads of interference in the signal path. The PC doesn't have a digital out.
What's the best option here. I imagine that sticking something into the analogue out is just going to be flogging a dead horse. Does this mean I need to get a D/AC and an amp? Any recommendations? I don't want to spend a fortune (I mean the headphones were only $85).
cheers,
Aaron
