Hi Everyone,

First time poster here. I was wondering if the sound quality of my PC can go to the next level with some minor purchases.

My current setup: Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Headphones: Philips Fidelio X1S

I was looking to get an external DAC/AMP combo, but wasn’t sure if it’s worth it.

Thank you to everyone in advance

    Now buying a headphone is a big topic, but HD6xx/650 is a safe choice for sure. Only thing you might lose is the wide soundstage your headphone has.

      So I went back to the drawing board and looked into it more. My headphones are 30ohm, that’s why they won’t really gain anything from amp/dac to begin with. Like you said, new headphones are a different topic, those Sennheisers are 300ohm. I think I’ll just stick with my current setup lol
