Need some help with a Amplifier

[Seb5009]

Hello all.

I am looking at getting a FiiO E7 Portable Headphone DAC Amplifier for my mp3 player. And the next step will be getting a Amplifier or sound card for my pc.
I am new to the world of sound cards/amplifier's so here is what I want to know.

I am looking at getting the FiiO E9 Desktop Headphone Amplifier and Dock, to go with the Fiio E7 and use them on my pc. Or get a sound card for my pc and just keep the FiiO E7 for my mp3 player. My headset is Beyerdynamic DT990 PRO Headset - 250 OHM.

Thanks for any help.

The E7 dock's in the E9 and work together. Here is a link which I have been looking at.

It may not be an issue for you, but the E7/E9 combo won't give you any surround virtualisation for gaming.

I see. Which sound card would be good for this, I have been looking at the Asus Xonar Essence ST Sound Card which does look good. Just a lot of money.
