HD 560s gaming

Planning on buying the HD 560s for gaming. Just wondering what are some good amplifiers for it for budget and mid tier.

Hi @folkswavy! Welcome to ASR.

Here are some good options:

Amp	Max playback volume with HD560S	perceived Loudness
	80dB	▄ (0.2x)
Apple A2049	106dB	▄▄▄▄▄ (1.0x reference)
JCAlly JM20 Max/FiiO KA11	114dB	▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ (1.8x)
Topping DX1	118dB	▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ (2.2x)

Personally, I listen at moderate levels of at most 80-90dB Peak (first column for reference), so I'd choose the Apple A2049.

As for sound quality, maximum volume is the only differentiator.

Detail, bass, soundstage is identical on 95% of DACs and Amps you can buy today.

If your PC makes a lot of noise whilst gaming then closed headphones might be a better option, 560s leak in a lot of sound
