Hello,new to the forums so i have no idea if im even writing the the correct section but wanted to ask if this amp is good for gaming and for music?
I have the sennheiser game zero headphones and mainly play fps games and listen to classical and rap music.If there are any other amps i can get that you guys recommend i would be happy.(It is on disscount on amazon for 170usd atm.)(also considering the gx soundblaster for 130)

It's probably fine for gaming headsets. I'd look elsewhere for quality music reproduction - starting from new headphones.

Noise-canceling headphones? Generally not known for quality audio reproduction.

the only reason to get sennheiser gaming audio cards is surround simulation which is the best in the market right now.

aside from that, those DACs are crappy and low quality and the amp is not existent. there are a ton of better options out there

I find the better ANC headphones are now pretty good. I think it's true that older models were all about the noise cancelling but models like the Bose QC35 and Sony WH1000 series are very listenable and more than acceptable in terms of SQ IMO.

Will be my first post, I have the GSX 1000 I enjoy it very much for what it's, niche gaming component, I find the surround perfect for competitive fps and the separate volume control for communication is nice; With that being said is it worth it as dac/amp ? not really, I find it can power HD6XX enough IMHO but it isn't my choice for high-quality audio device.
