game zero need amps or sound card?

cjtaxi
Go to solution Solved by cjtaxi,

Audio passthrough from cheap-middle end speakers are usually not well built and could introduce noises. Case per case of course. It's better to go straight to the source. 

 

Anyway, just try them all. If you can't hear a difference, then there's no difference. 

ah hmmm ok ok thx for your suggestion...

hi guys im planning to replace my siberia v2 frost blue to sennheiser game zero...from what i hear that headset need an amp?or soundcard?i dunno (im not familiar with audio product for PC)

i found these soundcards Xonar DGX or DG or DX (are those any good or enough for the headset?)

i think if you get 200+ headphones you should at least have a decent Z97/H97/990fx mobo cuz they have very good onboard sound, if you get a soundcard then save up money for a better one

It would be a real shame to not have a sound card :( (DAC would be better)

A sound card is a DAC.

A sound card is a DAC.

I meant a dedicated DAC, you know what I mean. A dedicated DAC and AMP vs. a Souncard..
