[QUOTE="Art Welter, post: 214226, member: 52"] Since you have no issue with the sound quality from your PC motherboard, simply using a headphone amp should be fine. They are optimized for the higher impedance of headphones, while a "full size amp" is usually optimized for lower impedance. I remember the peak reading VU meters on a Yamaha P2200 pegging out "350 watt" peaks into some 150 ohm headphones, while still not overly loud... I have been using a Rane HC 6 for about the last 20 years. It s capable of delivering up to 450 milliwatts into headphones with rated impedances between 32-600 ohms, more than enough volume (over 120dB SPL) for any musician I have ever worked with. You can find units with one or two channels with that much output for as little as $20. [/QUOTE]
