I have a decent pair of headphones:
Audio Technica ATH A-500
http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-A500-ATH-A500-Headphones/dp/B0006VT1U8
I have a decent? amp:
Sansui AU-517
http://www.sansui.us/PGMP_AU517.htm
Will I get better sound quality/dynamics by connecting a sound card from the PC to an amp and then to my headphones? (assuming that I am playing music files of the highest quality 320kbps)
Is there any quality loss when using a 3.5mm to RCA splitter?
I just want a decent STEREO setup. No intention on surround sound. Tight budget. Cheaper the better (looking at second hands)
What sound card should I get? I've been researching for quite a long time now and it seems that Creative is bullsh*t and that Asus is better. HTOmega isn't available in the UK.
I am personally looking at the Onkyo SE-90 and it seems to be fit for its job...
Any ideas?
