I've been debating between a sound card and a usb DAC/AMP. The front runners are the old school creative sound card and the creative X3 external DAC. The sound card is about $60 cheaper and if I really want to take my headphones with me i do have a little amp that has enough juice to power the headphones.
Does any one have any suggestions for alternate soundcards or external DAC/AMPs?
Thanks

What portable amp do you have? It might be able to connect to the PC via USB.
My brother used to use Creative DAC/AMPs but they don't seem to last long before crapping out.
There are many great brands, including JDS Labs. My favourite lately is the Fiio BTR5 that will work as a desktop or portable (even Bluetooth) amp. You can find the on sale for about $150.
