DAC

[Tiwaz]

Hey so I wanna pick up a new headset, a better one this time, specifically the Audio Technica AD700x. This headset has about the same ohm impedance as the STeelseries Siberia V1or V2 (cant remember) i currently own. Though I already have very weak bass on this one (also tried fidling around with EQ and other Creative Soundblaster settings) and i read several online posts some time ago that they got way better Bass they expected when using a DAC, because most onboard sound solutions, even on more expensive mobos dont have amplifiers than output more power or how I should i describe it.

So is there a DRIVERLESS DAC you guys can recommend for me. It should realy not cost more than 70€ and it should have 3,5mm or optical input, cuz USB ones need drivers and I fear that there is gonna be a conflict with the onboard drivers and i wanna avoid that obviously. It should be available on amazon.de as well

 

thanks in advance,

Tiwaz

if you want more bass then the AD700x are not something for you. A DAC is not going to give you more bass, unless you have one of those mobos with the faulty creative DAC. I would recommend that you read the pinned post

no, a amp just makes the signal from the DAC louder, if you want a focus on bass then you want other headphones
