Hey guys just bought Sennheiser IE 80's i plan to use them on my phone when im out but also for the price and the brand i would assume and have herd they will be great quality and plan to use them on my pc. i have an asus maximus formula vii mobo so it come with decent on board audio but do you think i should get a sound card, amp or dac? i dont know too much about audio what is why i am asking i love to listen to music and i do have most of my music as a flac so i should not be limited by the file. since they are only 18 ohms i dont think i will need a amp but would a dac be worth it when i have what is compaired to a asus xonar dsx/asus xonar dx?

Thanks

18ohm will drive fine from portables and computers just fine without an amp.

generally i would say a soundcard or dac is not necessary unless your onboard sound is bad (if you get crackling, buzzing, humming, etc)
