Hi i'm super confused about audio at the moment im not clued up on it for example having line outs, line ins using a amp as line in for example as people keep saying in the forums i read i have no clue about them setups or how to setup.
All i would like to know is simply how to power my Beyerdynamic 990 pro 250ohm headphones for gaming and music in the best possible way.
Am i better buying a 7.1 surround sound soundcard being the Asus Xonar Essence STX 2
Or buying the Fii0 e09k along with the Fiio e17 and having them sit on my desk to power my headphones?.
One of the problems i have with the headphones is i cannot adjust the volume while ingame for example i have to alt tab out and use the windows sound setting %0 - %100.
So the Fii0 portable e09k amp and e17 dac would come in handy since i can use the volume buttons as they sit on my desk, the problem is that i read that the Fiio products cannot handle surround sound.
And if i use the soundcard only i believe it has a amp and dac but how good is that compared to the Fiio combo and surround sound is better than stereo for gaming?, and if i bought only the sound card then is there a way i can easy manage my volume without having to alt tab out from games to use the setting in the bottom right corner of windows for the volume ajustment thanks.
