Hi Everyone,

First time poster here. I was wondering if the sound quality of my PC can go to the next level with some minor purchases.

My current setup: Motherboard: MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk Headphones: Philips Fidelio X1S

I was looking to get an external DAC/AMP combo, but wasn’t sure if it’s worth it.

Thank you to everyone in advance

    Given that those are 30 ohm headphones it looks like, I don’t think you need an amp. A DAC upgrade isn’t needed much these days, onboard DACs are pretty good.

    Overall you should get good quality sound without needing to buy any more stuff. I doubt a DAC/AMP upgrade would be very noticeable.

      Perfect, that’s what I love to hear. I was itching for some minor upgrades for my PC and my mind went to audio, but that’s the area I have no knowledge of.
