[SOLVED] DAC/AMP For Sennheiser Game One?

[TheSnipingViper]

I'm considering buying the Sennheiser Game One headsets soon, I read that these headsets may need an AMP/DAC to fulfill their full potential. My motherboard is: MSI H97 PC MATE with Realtek ALC887 onboard.

Will you recommend me to buy an AMP/DAC?

Right now i thinking of getting the Syba Sonic AMP/DAC as it is fairly cheap and i really don't care that much that i want to spend a lot of money on an AMP/DAC, I just want to reach my headsets limits.

Thank you.

That one is fine, will be as good quality as the motherboard audio and enough power to give the headphones a boost if needed.

I have not listened to those headphones, only going by reviews and the HD58xx headphones I have which should have a pretty similar sound. From other similar ones they are fine for music. Audio is not something you will get the perfect pick for you on the first try, you need a good size sample to find out what you like best. Till you can try 4,5,10 headphones there is just a guess i f you only get one.
