Need advice regarding a headphone amp.
I am using Alesis M1Active 520USB studio monitors which are connected to my PC via USB. That's for gaming, watching YouTube, TV series and movies online. And, late at night, I connect a headset to the studio monitors via the 6.35mm (1/4") connector.
But recently I bought new headphones - Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm. And it feels like there is some sound quality loss when using those headphones. I believe I need an amp.
I am totally ignorant on the subject and it looks like it is a rather complicated subject so I will just ask here
Basically, which amp should I get and what set up is best for my situation? Should I be getting an amp that connects to the back of the PC or to the studio monitors or USB? I don't want to spend lots of money but it has to be good enough for the job.
All advice will be welcome.
