What do you mean you're not into audio tech? Do you mean you don't really know much about audio but want to know more, or do you just aren't caught up in the audio stuff and aren't interested in in, and just want your stuff to work? If the first, then sure, get a DAC and Amplifier (Schiit.com has great stuff) if the latter, then just enjoy your headphones.

 

EDIT:

300$ Headphones... I'd suggest getting Magni 2 + Modi 2 from Schiit for this.

I dont know much, but want to learn - And get the best experience.

What should i be looking for in a DAC/Amplifier?

I know enough to not mess up when buying Audio equipment, but I don't know enough to feel comfortable recommending anything to you. Sorry

Not my thread, but would like to learn. Is there a site for newbies you would recommend where I could learn what impedance and whatnot are?

Tip to those that are new on LTT forum- quote a post so that the person you are quoting gets a notification, otherwise they'll have no idea that you did. You can also use a tag such as @Ryoutarou97 (replace my username with anyone's. You should get a dropdown after you type the "@")to send a notification, but quoting is preferable.

 

Feel free to PM me about absolutely anything be it tech, math, literature, etc. I'll try my best to help. I'm currently looking for a cheap used build for around $25 to set up as a home server if anyone is selling.

 

If you are a native speaker please use proper English if you can. Punctuation, capitalization, and spelling are as important to making your message readable as proper night theme formatting is.

 

My build is fully operational, but won't be posted until after I get a GPU in it and the case arted up.

If you have a good mobo like an MSI with good sound built in or a sound card, you do not need a DAC. If you don't, or would just like to improve your sound to the best it can be, buy something in the $50- $150 price range on amazon. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=dac

It's a bit expensive but I believe this is one of the better ones: http://www.amazon.com/Audioengine-D1-24-bit-Digital-to-Analog-Converter/dp/B006IPH5H2/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1456185225&sr=8-4&keywords=dac

Also, what MoBo do you have?

I hope this helped.
