I just got some ATH-M40x headphones to replace my old Siberia V2 headset. With these new headphones I can hear the static MUCH more loudly in my front panel jack than with the old ones. My on-board sound card of course only has one line out jack, and I want to be able to have both the speakers and headphones plugged in at the same time as I switch between them. This is the motherboard I have.
I have looked around so far for some options. A splitter wouldn't work because I don't want them outputting audio at the same time. The headphones did come with a Fiio e6 AMP, but it's a portable one with a battery. I know there are some sound cards out there as well as DACs and AMPS, but I really don't know anything about them, and don't want to spend $100 on one. What do you guys thing a good option for me?
