I would suggest going for an external dac and amp or dac/amp combo rather than a soundcard. I believe you will get a cleaner sound that way for the same amount of money.
But in the end its a personal choice, if you have the chance you could by your cans first then audition several setups to see what sounds best to you.

Is and AMP/DAC needed to get the most out of the HD58x?
I recently bought the HD58x headphones and i was wondering if i needed and AMP/DAC to get the most out of them. I previously used the Razer Kraken v2's and since upgrading to the HD58x i haven't really noticed a difference. I am using them with my Mac Mini M1.

What is the likelihood of a THX AAA tws earbud being made?
Considering the fact that the THX pandas exist, what is the likelihood that we will get a pair of tws earbuds with AAA tech. Do you guys think there's a market for it?

TOPPING DX7 PRO DAC/AMP - Will Not Power On
Any suggestions on how to fix a TOPPING DX7 PRO DAC/AMP that will not power on? I bought the unit 3 months ago and worked fine until recently. I've already checked the AC fuse, replaced the power cord and tried a different AC power outlet. Thanks!

Don't head much of a difference between ATH m50x, HD 58x and HE 4xx
As the title says, I don't hear any big difference between these headphones. I originally had the ATH m50x for some time and was content. However, a few weeks ago, I read that a lot of people were saying that it wasn't that good of a pair of headphone and there were many better ones out there. 2 of which, were the HD 58x jubilee and the Hifiman He 4xx. So I ordered these 2 headphones and have been using them with my desktop for the last couple of weeks. I bought these 2 because I heard that open-back headphones sounded different from closed-back, and that the sound stage between these 2 were also completely different. However, if I am being completely honest, I don't head much of a difference between these 3 headphones. I am a little disappointed now though because after spending so much money I honestly don't think it was much of an upgrade. Are my ears just broken, or is there something that I am missing that make people praise these massdrop headphones and bash the ATH m50x?

Kinera released an updated version of their first flagship IEMs, Odin. The Odin 2.0 really caught my attention because of the beautiful faceplates. I haven't really heard any all-ba iems except the Dunu SA6. Wondering how it sounds. Any input/ feedback will be appreciated!

Kinera releases it's latest all-ba IEM, Kinera Skuld. It's equipped with 5(two custom tuned+3 Knowles)ba driver. It has a impressive super flat frequency response bested only by the Odin in their Lineup. The hand painted shells looks stunningly beautiful.

Surprised you never see people posting shots of their 6XX headphones on this site. Guess the didn't sell very well--probably sound pretty crappy?

Some of you might have cringed, but just be flat-out honest and tell me if it's good or bad, or if I should get something else. Thanks!
