Headphone amp with 80 ohm beyerdynamic headphones
I ordered my first pair of audiophile headphones, the beyerdynamic 990 80 ohm version because the nice man at audio46 said it wouldn’t need a headphone amp. My Q is although it wouldn’t need it, would adding a headphone amp to my iPhone make the 80 ohm sound better? Or is it strictly for the 250 ohms that they have to use a headphone amp . I mostly listen to hip hop and r&b music >

Pc38 mic issue on pc
So I bought the pc38s which sound amazing compared to all I have used prior, but no matter what I try, I can not get the mic working on my pc! It works fine when plugged into a controller for console, but simply wont on the pc. I own msi ge75 raider, it has two ports, one for headset, one for the mic! The cords that come with the headset are split into two, each is the 3 pin I think (TRS)... Maybe the port on the computer requires 4 pin or what else can I try?
Thank you in advance!

Best DAC to pair with Sennheiser HD6XX and Drop + THX AAA 789 Amp?
I just put in my order the other day for the HD6XX and Drop THX 789. I am not sure what DAC I should pair with them. I have read a bunch of the posts here and got some ideas but I still can't decide. Right now I was thinking of waiting for the Drop + Grace Balanced DAC or the SMSL SU-8 to drop again or even grabbing one of them off of Amazon. Would either of those be a good pairing or is there something better I should be getting? The only thing I don't like about the SU-8 is that it is silver. The SU-9 comes in black but it's more expensive. My only requirement is that I want it to be balanced. I would prefer something in the $200-300 range but would be willing to spend more if it's absolutely worth it and going to be a noticeable difference. Thanks!

Why DACs /Headphone amps?
I see a lot of DAC and headphone amps on the site, and I'm wondering why I would need one (or both?). I listen sometimes on my computer, sometimes on an iPad or iPhone, and sometimes on an old school stereo with a Sony receiver. All of these are compatible with headphones, so what's the purpose of getting a DAC/Headphone amp? And what is the difference? And do I need both?
Thanks in advance for any light you can shed on this for me.

ABOUT ME

I left to start my own Hi-Tech Computer company. My company did anything and everything with computers and computer systems. We were especially known for our Graphics and Gaming computers we built. We built to order Bespoke systems. We were very proud of our workmanship. My company was in operation for almost 27 years. I still build for myself and my family members. I am 74 years old now.
Audio Visual has been my lifelong hobby. I love reading Hard science fiction; an example would be the Author Brandon Q. Morris. I like listening to books also.
I play few games however, I am addicted to Star Citizen. I do try other games like Alien Isolation, Elite Dangerous, and EVE Online.

TLDR; What is the best amp/dac for Sennheiser Game One headsets. I'm into gaming (FPS) as well as looking for good quality for music. I prefer to keep it in the $100-$300 range, and I am looking at alternatives to the Sennheiser GSX 1000. I would like to be able to hook up 5.1 speakers as well, but I understand if it is not possible. The one other concern I had is; would there be any complications hooking up the dac/amp and audio interface for a microphone at the same time? (I think they're different connections, but I'm not positive.)
My Intentions - I used to be into making YouTube videos, and would like to rejoin that scene as well as get into streaming on Twitch. In order to do that, I would like the best set up for my viewers (microphone/interface), as well as a quality audio set up for competitive gameplay.
I will use them primarily for FPS gaming. I like being able to hear where my enemies are without seeing them. The biggest games being PUBG, and Overwatch for now. I will also listen to music as well, but that isn't quite as important.
My future equipment -
- Microphone - (Don't have one, but looking at the Shure SM7B, as well as an Audio Technica.)
- Audio Interface - (Don't have one, but looking at the Focusrite Scarlett 2.2)
- Amp/DAC - Looking for suggestions or any better options. I am currently looking at the Sennheiser GSX 1000; Little Dot MKII (Recommended by a friend, but I don't know if I really want to step into the realm of tubes); Grace Design M900 (Just a bit higher than I want to go)
My current equipment/software -
