I want to upgrade my PC audio in a big way. I use it for games (mostly action-adventure, shooter and RPG) as well as blu-ray movies & music (electronic, rock, hip-hop, orchestral).
I will be using headphones 90% of the time. I've been using Sennheier HD280 Pro's for over 10 years, and, while they're pretty great, they are literally falling to pieces now and I want to take it to the next level.
I'm thinking HD600's, but am unsure what sort of amp and sound card to get with them. I currently plug my headphones straight into the jack and use my ASROCK Z87 Extreme3 mobo for sound.
My budget is ~$750, but flexible. However, that $ does not go as far here in Korea as some other places. For example, the HD600's may be had for $350 on sale, but are otherwise $500+.
Another option is the 558's, which wouldn't require an amp, but I do want the leap from the 280's to be huge and last me another 10 years.
