i am looking to buy a sound card to drive my hd 580s which are high impedance (i believe 150ohm) and am looking at a refurbished creative sound blaster recon3d i believe the fatlyty 1 pro for $40 at my local microcenter but am suspicious so my answer is is it worth it or am i better off getting the dsx they have in stock? as i belive my high impedence headphones should still work becuase op--amps are better at driving higher not lower impenenxe headphones
