Mayflower Arcs vs SoundBlasterX G6

Which one is better and why.. I am an absolute noob when it comes to audio equipment.. I am a casual gamer with a pair of Beyerdynamic COPPs... they don't really need an amp/dac, but I wanna buy one anyways in case I buy any headphones that require it in the future..

 

The reason why I am picking between these two is because I need Mic in..

Mayflower arc imo.is better more powerful amp with a decent dac overall better for future proofing. The g6 is a decent Unit clean powers most headphones even some hard to drive ones just not as well as the arc. But if virtual suround matters to you then that is a decent option
