I recently picked up a set of Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro's (250 ohms). Primarily I intend to use them for gaming on my pc. Currently all I have is motherboard sound but I plan on changing that. Which brings me to my question, what do I change it too?

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
