Solved! Is an DAC required to power an AMP?

[itswoolfy]

Hello, recently I have bought the 250 Ohm version of the DT990, and I have decided that I wanted to buy an Amp and Dac. I was looking to buy the Schiit Magni 3, and Modi 3. But I was wondering if I could just buy the Amp and connect the Amp from Rca to 3.5mm into the back of my PC. What I am trying to say is, do I need a Dac to power the Amp? Or can I just use the Amp, and connect it to the Dac onboard my motherboard.

No you don't need an external DAC, you can use the output of the built in computer, it's the exact same signal.
