I need help from the awesome minds of the audio forum.
I have a Gigabyte x79-UD3, it has the Realtek ALC898 for it's on board audio.
I'm looking to replace an old set of 5.1 Turtle Beach Ear Force HPA2's, they're finally dying on me, I've loved them, but it's time to get something better.
I've run them with the analog splitter they came with, with my speakers on the other end.
Speakers are Logitech z-5500. I'm very happy with this set, and I don't want to change them.
I was recently given a Creative X-Fi Elite Pro, with the external I/O console.
I know I need a headphone amp when I make the jump to a decent pair of cans, I was thinking the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80, based on recommendations from a previous thread when stating what I liked sound wise.
The question is this : Will the amp in the X-Fi's I/O console be an upgrade to my on board chip, and then, will the amp in the I/O console be worthy to run the DT770's?
Any help would be very much appreciated, thanks in advance all.
