So I read that you should use an amp for AKG K712s...will the Creative Sound Blaster Z be enough? Is there a cheaper solution that would sound the same? - seriously, who doesn't want cheaper stuff that performs the same?

And how do you do all this amping?

I'll be primarily gaming and listening to music if that means anything.
