I have some Sennheiser 363D headphones that come with a USB sound card. They are working fine but i want to get the most out of these headphones and dont want to use the included usb sound card.

I have onboard ALC 1150 sound however the onboard amp (if you could call it that!?) doesnt spit out enough power to play music loud.

I'm considering getting a sound card or a dac/amp - any help appreciated on the subject.
