Best dac/amp for DT 770 250 ohm

[brandon32689]

What would be a good Dac/amp combo for the DT770 250 ohms. I am looking to pair these with a modmic for gaming.

DT770 should be very nicely capable, so would be shame to feed them only "sound inside left/right ear or in center of head" stereo speaker mix of games.

Because that's only positioning brain can give when signal lacks proper cues.

While if you have head shape close to average you could get 360 directionality.

 

Though they really aren't that demanding load (unless you want to lose hearing fast) so what motherboard you have?

Human hears in 3D with two ears, because head and outer ears cause direction dependant changes to signal received by ears from sound source.

Those binaural cues can be simulated mathematically and most sound cards have had that feature for decade.

And if you head shape is close to average with accurate enough headphones immersion is very nice.

If you have those headphones disable sound effects of Asus software and listen first this standard stereo:

Not much of immersion compared to this:
