Yesterday I received my brand new Asus Xonar DGX Sound Card from Amazon. I decided to pair this sound card up with the new headphones that I also just bought, Sennheiser PC 350 Special Edition, due to a huge sale ($80) on Prime Day. Over the weekend, I tried the headphones out with my on-board audio chip and they sounded good, the microphone sounded good, but I felt like I could do more to actually drive these headphones. When my Xonar DGX came in the mail I instantly installed it, installed all the drivers, and connected the headphones to the sound card directly and I was surprised to hear the headphones were very "tinny" and had quite the echo on all sounds. I tried messing around with the Asus Sound Studio settings but nothing got rid of the "tinny" sound. Has anyone had similar problems to this? or does anyone know a solution? Some recommendations that I found over the internet suggest to burn-in the headphones, driver problem, on-board audio problem, or possibly a faulty sound card or pair of cans.
