Hello everyone, I new on this world of the audio, I have my new Hifiman Sundara and sounds pretty good! but in my PC I sense sounds without much detail with distorsion in 50-60% of volume and notable noise , is an SoundBlaster ZxR and I search a good dac/amp for drive this headphones, I've read so many option but I don't know is the correct way, I've searching and I thinking to buy only an AMP but I not sure about that, so I have a question about this
If I wanna buy a AMP, I pair it with my soundcard without distorsion or anything else? Or, is necessary a DAC too?
If is this case, I can pairing it with a BTR5 or another portable DAC?
And in my searching, I seen the DX3 Pro is a good option but the V2 can make the sound soo flat in planar magnetics and I have question about this
An DAC/AMP with high output impedence (10ohms) can make a negative impact in planar magnetics headphones?
Or only if the ohms is much less than 80ohm?
And why people say and recommend powerful and expensive DAC/AMP for headphones with low impedence (example: LCD-X) and sounds better than cheap and powerful DAC/AMPS? I've see people can drive the LCD-X with a cheap DAC like the BTR5 and not have problem, I think is more subjetive and preference taste, I've read can make the sound "more brilliant" but with lack on the bass, in some situation make the bass more stronger and more thigh
Thank you! And sorry for many question but I think is better resolve it
