u wont need an amp but an amp would make it better and lauded
and look at some dt770pro 80ohms they are awesome and sound much better than any of the Sennheiser i have ever tried
Welcome to the addiction. (See sig).
cant get dt770pro's in new zealand.. i might just get the Auzentech and the HD595's for now and see if i want a amp later.. im also saving for a phase change, so much money..
I have the 595s and love them.
If the output on the auzentech is similar to the audigy 2 zs, you won't need an amp.
if ony my prelude would work atm :(
MY ad900's sound crap through onboard sound :(
The Prelude has a much higher output(5v) compared to any Creative card. If anything, it will drive the HD595s better vs the Audigys/X-Fis.
Yepp! You'll not really need an amp unless you're very anal about it. Prelude is Loud and Bombastic enough to not need an amp. Example, Creative cards are 2.5 instead of 5v.Quote:

haha kool, thanks for your guys input!
would ad900's work thru an audigy 2 zs plantinum front panel thingy?Quote:

I Guess it would probably sound terrible though....Quote:
