Hello everyone!!!! Right now I’m alternating between my Sennheiser HD 599s and my Ath Audio Technica AD 500 headsets. At the moment I’ve just connected them to my PC and used the built-in sound board. I’m looking to upgrade and add a DAC/amp. I don’t want to spend a lot of money but I also don’t want to overspend. Should I buy a DAC and amp separately and use both, or should I opt for a combo set that combines everything in one? I play games every day and stream, so I’m really focused on my gaming experience. I mainly play FPS games, mostly Warzone 2.0 right now. Any advice would be appreciated!

Check out the Mayflower ARC Mk2 – great sound quality and a top-notch microphone for gaming. It's also named after Half-Life.

Hello everyone! I'm currently using a Sennheiser hd 599 and switching between audio technica ad 700x. I don't have a DAC/amp yet, but I'm planning to upgrade to a new headset and also get a DAC/amp, so I'm seeking recommendations. What headsets should I consider? And which DACs or amps would be best?

Hello everyone, I'm currently using the Sennheiser HD 599s and connecting it directly to my PC. I'm thinking about upgrading to a better headset and also getting an amplifier or DAC to enhance the sound. Any suggestions would be appreciated, even if I decide to stick with the HD 599s and just add an amp/dac for pairing.

What's the cost? I bought a Schiit Asgard 3 with a multibit DAC used second-hand because I was let down by a Creative X7, and the Asgard really stands out compared to it. This was meant to go alongside my AKG 712 Pro.
