Soundcard/DAC?

Dubesta11

I am looking to get something to power my Sony-MDR's, which has a mic and headphone input (with the Vmoda cable). What is a good cheap solution to deliver the best sound from my mic and good audio quality out to my headset? Budget is under $50

To be honest you don't need one it won't give you any benefit.

Onboard computer audio will power them fine. If you are looking to go portable check out FIIO E6 or other items here

I got one of those and they work great :D

For fucks sake, this must be the third time I've seen that video this week. Thanks for trying, but the regulars in this subforum do not need the help of some internet ditz.

Actually it is pretty well grounded in facts don't believe all the marketing bullshit you hear.

lol its on the right track but the video is crap and both them are biased sell outs

 

ohms only variable for power? I know there is another episode but you just dont state that shit especially with the headphones they hold up,  I can name many high ohm headphones that are easily driven and low ohm ones that must need an amp lots of volume

 

drivers are user error, never had an issue unless I accidently installed over another

 

surround software has to do with algorithms not eq settings

 

any gamer will tell you there is a difference between razer, sbx, yahama silent cinema, cmss3d, dolby, etc

 

also dont many front panel noise come from sharing usb ground

 

oh btw same shit just internal vs external six one way half a dozen the other

It's sad too see people like you, who buy into the placebo effect and waste there money, oh well it's your loss.

lol placebo

 

sbx studios try it while gaming

 

I want to be gaming immersive

 

have you tried it, cmss, dolby, razers, onboard, yahama silent cinema

 

I have over 20 headphones right now, o2 combo, many receivers, bravo, fiios (2 of them), bravo (not here friend is screwing around with it as a preamp),

 

have owned and tried many more

 

its not about the money its about finding great solutions not just for me but for my friends

 

sry if you havent tried sbx

 

its all the same thing one is internal, one is external, sound cards come with software which sbx is

get a clue

 

not my video but here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BxO9cd-sYA#t=0

I don't really understand why many people are having trouble with front audio panel. 

 

My mobo is 'budget' one, under $100, with VIA audio chip, my casing is $20+, and it sure use ass-cheap cables for the front panel. Never had any annoying static issues on the front panel. Yeah it's less 'black' compared to E10 for example, but nothing on the annoying level....

I think it depends on the case as well, My R4 didn't have any weird interference problems but my Air 540 does, but I don't use onboard anyways except for my speakers, which is just line-out
