Hi everyone, I've been a member of these forums for quite some time now, but never came around to posting. But now I have question that I just can't seem to find the answer for from just lurking.
Currently, I have HD650's and a DV 336se amp for my music needs. However, I want a headphone setup for FPS gaming. After reading some of the numerous posts about gaming and headphones out there I'm trying to decide between two options, trying to keep costs down while maintaining a good quality rig for gaming:
1. Get a DAC and hook it up to my existing amp and phones. Do I need a sound card (I don't really use my computer to listen to music so right now using Gigabyte x58 motherboard onboard sound)? Any suggestions for a DAC or sound card decently priced ($100-$200)?
2. Just get AD700s and maybe a sound card too. Any suggestions for a good pairing between AD700s + sound card?
Thanks!
