Sennheiser G4me one, In need for a sound card/ Dac+Amp

[Djmusic10]

Hey guys, I am planning on getting the sennheiser Game one headset and need something to pair them up with. Budget is up to 150. I was looking at the Soundblaster Z sound card, Sound Blaster X G5 External Dac/Amp Sound card and Asus Xonar DGX. Im looking for the BEST sound possible , im a bit of an audio Junkie. I am a Twitch Streamer and plugging it into my motherboard as well gives off so much white noise in the background compared to what I see other streamers have. Mic quality is important just as much as sound. Main uses are Gaming then Music (Rock, House) Then movies. Tell me my best options

the external soundblaster "headphone amp" i would probably avoid. i've heard of many issues with those. the z is a g ood card. the dg is a low end card but not bad for its low cost.

best quality? if you do not need virtual surround, using an external dac/amp like a fiio e10k perhaps. likewise if you dont need a strong amp the xonar dx has the STX level dac inside a product the same price as the z. in terms of dac the dx is much better than the z but the amp is weaker.

by white noise are you talking about mic or audio from your game to your headphones? if its mic, then most serious streaming setups use xlr mics and audio interfaces not motherboard/soundcard audio and analog mics.
