Gentleman,
I have abit of a question which I would like some help with.
You guys are all pretty switched on with this stuff and figured this would be the place to ask.
I currently have this set-up.
Sennheiser HD 518's (I like them, I only use them every once and a while though)

screenshot greenSwan M50's (Would buy another pair just for the novelty. They are that good)
image hosting over 10mbI want to improve my current audio-setup (For music, gaming is 2nd)
Now, I mainly use my speakers because they are pretty much beast as, but I want to get the most out of my headphones.
So, I was hoping to get a DAC/AMP combo which would allow me to output the improved signal to speakers plus provide me with a headphone amp that is better than the soundblaster one.
I was thinking of the Audio Engine D1, it seems popular and is in my price range. <$200
But then I wasn't sure if I would use TOSLINK or USB.
And I have no idea if the soundcard would be worth it after I get this, because my Motherboard has a digital output.
So basically, what should I get/do to improve this setup?
(I use FOOBAR with FLAC files which I rip myself, if you're wondering.)
