Steelseries Arctis Pro with or without GameDAC?

[Mattaeus]

Greetings All,

 

I am thinking of getting a new headset with the idea of better sound quality and ive got my eye on the Arctis Pro. My current audio setup is as follows:

 

HEADSET: SteelSeries Arctis 7 Gaming
SPEAKERS: Creative A250 2.1

 

The speakers are connected to my onboard sound which is a standard Realtek High Definition Audio.

 

Should i bother getting the GameDAC in addition to the headset, will it provide me with better sound quality? Will it improve the Arctis Pro's sound quality further?

 

I am not an expert on sound quality or equipment so just want a expert opinion since the GameDAC is adds a premium to the headset so i basically just want to know if its worth it.

You shouldn't bother with "gaming" audio at all. My personal recommendation is the DT 770 pro 80ohm with a modmic uni. Pair it with an ifi zen dac and you are good. The Sound Blaster g6 is also good.
