Shure SRH440A and SRH840A

[Cradi]

i also bought the 440A for my desktop PC, it has the ALC4080 Realtek soundchip.
Do you recommend a budget DAC Solution to have the full potential or is this soundchip strong enough for the bass and the volume? I am on a real budget so if you recommend a DAC i need a good but very cheap one only for this

Any external DAC/sound card/audio interface will be better. Especially if you use an equalizer. (Built-in sound does not respond well to an equalizer)

Choose based on the functionality of the device, and not on the laudatory reviews about how good this or that DAC sounds. Save yourself time and money.

I purchased an S.M.S.L. C200 mainly due to the great reviews and reports here and (at the time), being able to take advantage of a great discount deal.
Transformed my listening experience !!
It is More than capable of driving my SRH440's
