I've decided on these headphones for gaming, what amp/dac should I get?

Hi, so after reading the sticky about what headphones to get for gaming I've decided on getting the AKG K712PRO's since that htread says they are a good all rounder, I don't play competitive games I just want that immersion and sound stage.

I was thinking of getting the Senheiser GSX 1000 since I hear it has excellent surround sound. I don't mind spending about £200 to get good sounding gaming immersion.

Any help appreciated
Thanks

Thanks for the input.

I found these two, are they the same thing? If not, which would be better?

Creative G6

Soundblaster x G6

Thanks for that information, that was very helpful.

I am very sensitive to headphone pressure so I will not get the AKGs, I'll go with the 990's, I used to have 770's and really liked them. I'll also go with the X3 over the G6.

Nice, I'll definitely go for the DT990 Edition.

How would I use that profile? Is it automatic or do I have to do something.

Interesting, any idea how they compare to the 990's?

OK, definitely sticking with the DT990's then.

Is it possible for a pair of stereo speakers to be connected to the Creative X3 at the same time as headphones? And is there a toggle to switch between them as outputs?

So that means that sound would be coming through both speakers and headphones at the same time I assume?
