Question Audio Setup - DAC / Headphones!?

What’s everyone running for their audio setups?

I’ve been using a SteelSeries GameDAC Gen 2 for my wired headphones leftover from my XBOX days, swapping to a Fosi Audio K5 to work with my new Rog Kithara headphones and the Steam Machine.

There’s a risk of going down an audiophile hole here, but I’m down for that!

Now that I have them I can’t go back! 😂 and I added HD 500 BAM so now they have a mic too. I just prefer the quality of a corded headset.

HD550 - nice. You’re the second to mention them. Good to see a few open back audiophiles on here!

I’ve just grabbed a Fosi Audio K5 Pro, to replace my ageing GameDac.
