No I won't be carrying the suitcase haha. Yeah i'll be in First Class however, just hope nobody slams it or breaks it I'll be sure to put it into a convenient place.

Could you recommend me a DAC?

That's fair enough if I was going by car, but I only have the option to go by train GPU is quite big, it's a Gigabyte 980ti G1

No, sorry. It's a Haswell i5 4690K.

Cooler is Corsair H100i

Sup' So, I'll me moving soon and I need to bring my PC with me. But what's the safest way? - The train journey is 4 hours and I was thinking of having my PC in a suitcase wrapped by a blanket and clothes to almost cushion it. Is this a good idea? - Do you recommend I unplug the GPU also? I could put it into it's original box also in the suitcase - Note I don not have any other boxes or packing materials Thank you so much!

Thank you both for your replies! So, I guess an external DAC would be better, but which one would you recommend? I don't really need the 'placebo effect' as such, I just want to reduce the interference I'm currently getting.

Sup' guys! So, I'm buying the following headphones: Sennheiser PC363D, and with it buy a BEAST soundcard for no more than £100 ($147.75). I've done some research and the following are my findings: - Creative Sound Blaster Zx - Asus ROG Xonar Phoebus Solo I would like to know your opinion on which soundcard I should buy, preferably also include why . Also please state your own recommendations, if they're under £100 and are optimised or great for gaming. Thank you so much! EDIT: - Also, if you think a AMP is better please say and recommend me one to buy! **************************** Additional Info **************************** - The Sennheiser PC363D will mostly be used for gaming and mildly be used for quite dank bassy tunes - The games I mainly play: CS:GO, COD BO3, BF4, FALLOUT 4 (Mainly FPS) - From the soundcard and headphones I want accurate sounds that'll allow me to sound-whore the #*%t out of my opponents - Motherboard is Asus Ranger VII Z97, The reason I want a soundcard, additional to the reason above, is because I get some interference through my motherboard audio
