So you're saying Essence is crap? And I'm pretty sure those cans require more than 35 ohms to get the most out of them (check specs to be sure)Freezer7Pro wrote:
Amplified crap is still crap, you know. If he's listening from the computer, I'm quite certain he can obtain whatever colouration X amp would produce through software.
And I'm saying that if you won't get much better output than you get input. If you have a rollercoaster of a frequency curve in and 10% distortion, an amp won't magically fix that. If you've got (like with the Xonar) a completely flat curve with 0.006% THD, an amp will only add noise and colouration to it.
And what the hell do you mean by "I'm pretty sure those cans require more than 35 ohms to get the most out of them"? That doesn't even make any sense.
You said DX outputs 32ohms so I said those cans might require more. So you won't get the most out of your cans if they need more gain then the output on his card gives.
And no soundcard without an amp is made for "heavier cans", even my EMU which has a headamp can't power my HD600s properly.
