Advice please

I just bought Sennheiser HD 660 S (may even swap out for HD6xx from massdrop ) and i am going to be using them via pc (mobo z370 taichi) .

I have zero knowledge about DAC/Amps and or hard to drive headphones.

 

What should i get as far as amp or dac or combo for $200 or less?

 

Uses:

It will only be used on a desktop pc so it dose not need to be portable but it will be used for long hours at a time especially when gaming 6-10 hrs at a time.

Music wise : classic rock,medieval folk,alternative,blues and some metal.

 

Thanks

 

Edit : i also have a yamaha 383 hooked up to pc and dont know if that makes a difference and whether i should hook up an amp/dac to that or directly to mobo.

I'd say you should grab a Schiit Magni 3 at the very least. Depending on how clean the audio out of your onboard is, you can likely just plug that straight into the magni with a 3.5mm TRS to dual RCA cable, but if not you can also grab the Modi - together they're $200, and they're a great way to get into quality audio without breaking the bank.
