I really like the look of those JDS amps and dacs but both, even the Atom's add up real quick. I only plan to sit at the PC with it and play them video games. Long term, I'd like to get those Atom's, I think anymore more will be wasted on my old ears, and if I want to take these headphones on the road the little creative labs I have and linked above is more than enough. Short term, I'll either keep using motherboard sound or spend $120 on a soundblaster sound card. Thanks for the inputs guys, it's definitely helped me make a decision and pointed me towards stuff I hadn't seen.
