I was wondering if this would be a good audio setup:

Sennheisers 598s (For some reason they are cheaper than the 558s at Frys so I am getting them)

Zalman Mic 1

Onboard Audio :mellow:

This good? :P

i7 4770k/Asus GTX 1080 TI/Asus RX5500 XT/Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB/Samsung 840 Pro 256GB/Seagate Barracuda 3TB/AX860i/ASUS Z87 PRO/Fractal Design Define R4/HD 598

Sure :)

 

It would be better with a sound card, but that would give you some pretty pretty decent sound ;)

No it wouldn't. A soundcard's high output impedance would make the headphones perform worse than a normal onboard solution.

Oh my mistake :( I thought the headphones had a impedance of 600 since I had meant I had seen that before, but they don´t. Sorry about that.

 

In that case you are right and a sound card would just ruin the sound :/

Sound-cards of tunable output impedance, sound-card would be better

some do have that. I can't remember the name but it was on some headfi youtube video.

the amp had a switch between 1 ohm output or 10 ohm output impedance. iirc

Will work for electronic components and parts
