Will a Hyperx soundcard that comes with them work good with K7XX?

Hello guys, So i am buying the k7xx soon so i need to be sure that this soundcard will hold them well. or i should just get the Fiio E10k.

What hyper x sound card? If I was spending money on nice headphones like K7XX's I would want a decent external DAC/Amp.

If it's not the best idea, can you offer me some nice dac/amp for a low cost?

I don't think that is a DAC or an AMP, it's just for surround which you most certainly don't want on a pair of stereo K7XX's.

What would be your budget for a DAC/AMP? For under $100 fiio E10K like you already mentioned is pretty good, I had one for my HD600s and it worked great until I broke the headphone jack and only one channel worked. If you do get the E10K I would be careful with the jack, it's not exactly robust.

I have a more expensive "schiit stack" now, which consists of the schiit magni and modi. Thats about $200. I also looked at the mayflower Objective2 and ODAC, that's about $230 and is pretty highly regarded from my research.

Yeah that's just a virtual surround device. It's not going to drive K7XXs. E10K, Schiit Fulla 2, Fiio Q1 or better the Q1 MK II. What's your budget? As Dunlop0078 mentioned a Schiit stack or an O2/ODAC ( I have a Mayflower O2/ODAC Rev. B ) would be better. Price just goes up from there.
