I know that a separate dedicated Dac would be best but for now I want to invest more into a top quality headphone. I am looking to add amplification though. I am wondering which output to run the amp on. The outputs on the card are 3 line outs, a headphone out, and digital out as well as a mic. Would the amp use the headphone one? It does have amplification not sure if that matters with a modern amp. Also when I do look for a Dac would I remove that card or use it's digital out. The motherboard has it's own digital out and it is an Asus H170 pro gaming board. Or would it be best to USB out to Dac?
Just trying to get my ducks in a row before purchasing. I'm thinking; headphone then amp then dac order, let me know if that is wise or not. In the meantime I think that the Z will suffice
