AKG K7xx Setup Help!

[JackT24]

With the AKG K7xx back on mass drop, I need some help on what I will need to purchase to hook them up to my computer and my xbox one. 

Trying to keep it below £100 ($130). Thanks!

I just ordered them too! On Xbox One if you have a newer controller there's a 3.5mm right there. The K7XX's have a 1/4" jack but it screws off to a 3.5mm so you're fine there. If you happen to not have a newer Xbox One controller you need the Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter: http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/xbox-one/accessories/headsets/stereo-headset-adapter#fbid=nfgr8BggDOA it's $30 USD

My last motherboard (MPOWER Z87) could not power my last set of AKG headphones (K142HD) sufficiently.  Instead of spending $30 on that adapter it might be prudent to get a headphone amp that takes a SPDIF input like the SMSL 793-II for $65.

I am not sure that the Xbox has a good enough amp to power them special through the controller....

To be fair MSI is not really known for putting good amps and dacs on their motherboards.

That's not entirely true, the MSI Z170A Gaming M9 ACK probably has the best audio setup of ANY motherboard.

So it will compete with my motherboard (VI formula)
