I was planning on using these pretty much solely on my PC. I have an ASUS Hero VIII motherboard and was wondering if anyone else had tried the audio out of it with these AKGs? Curious if it is powerful enough to drive them or if I will still need a DAC/AMP in addition. Thanks!
from reading the reviews on these and other akg 700-series phones, you will be able to listen from a laptop or phone, but it won't be able to pump super loud, and clarity and fidelity will be lost, so an amp is recommended to get that audiophile goodness you're paying for.
Thanks! These will be the first pair of decent headphones I own so the amp will come as soon as I can swing one. I was drooling over the Creative amp that dropped a little earlier, but couldn't swing the cash at that point.
Will do! I don't consider myself an audiophile by any stretch of the imagination. Is there an easy way to tell if the AKG's are getting enough juice? I have read that they just won't be all that loud but is there anything else I should keep my ears open for?
