im about to order some Sennheiser HD595's and a Auzentech Prelude, this is a huge step up from my stupid headphones and onboard sound, do i need an amp for these? or would they sound good as is?

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
5930k, R5E, samsung 8GBx4 d-die, vega 56, wd gold 8TB, wd 4TB red, 2TB raid1 wd blue 5400
samsung 840 evo 500GB, HP EX 1TB NVME , CM690II, swiftech h220, corsair 750hxi
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

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.

there yo go bringing intel into a amd thread again lol, if that was someone droping a dig at amd you would be crying like a girl.qft!
oh really?
In that case, no, you won't need an amp. The creative card can drive them louder than I feel compfortable listening to.
haha kool, thanks for your guys input!
would ad900's work thru an audigy 2 zs plantinum front panel thingy?if ony my prelude would work atm

depends on how many ohms the cans are also, although its not the only determining factor.

I Guess it would probably sound terrible though....
no point spending $$$ on a good pair of cans and not having a decent sound card to drive them...
