AMP/DAC Question
« on: April 18, 2013, 05:57:20 PM »
Yo guys,

I'm considering purchasing an amp for my headphones and i would like a bit of advice. Firstly let me give you the background.

My MAIN listening device is a pair of Sennheiser HD 515's that are about 2 years old but I'm not ready to part with them. When i first got them the sound quality was amazing and still is. I then purchased, second hand, a SB Audigy (Old I know) to place in my machine and greatly increased the quality of sound coming out my machine, i was truly impressed.

I'm looking to continue my incredible, though admittedly hampered, delving into the "audiophile" world. I say that in quotes as i know i'm nowhere near heh.

Can you tell me of any AMP/DAC or combination of both that i could use to increase my sound experience? For a quick reference, the HD515 is my MAIN (read: only) listening device coming out of a SoundBlaster Audigy and i never remove it from there. I mainly listen to music, play HD games and chat on Skype on there.

Looking for something a bit "futureproof" so i only have to upgrade the headphones/soundcard in future.
