Amp for Sennheiser hd660s2

[margalit100082]

Hey everyone, I recently got the Sennheiser hd660s2. and I mostly use them for games (Not competitive or anything, mostly single player), and sometimes I hear music but not too often...
what amp would you suggest I'll use them with? My motherboard is Asus x670e if it matters..
Thanks!

It matters only in as much as the amp you choose needs a signal worthy of amplifying.

Depends how much you want to spend.
Having tried a couple of Topping Amps with a few Sennheiser models, I can recommend the A50S and, especially, the A90D.
Both have standard and 'balanced' outputs - but they are amp only models - meaning that they require an analogue input.

If your motherboard has digital audio output(s) you might want to consider either a standalone DAC and amp, or a combined DAC amp of some sort.

Thanks! I've heard some stuff about the Fiio k7, what do you think about it?
Or what about Sennheiser dac/amp? Are they good enough?

I have no experience of either, sorry.
All I can say is that the Fiio seems to provide a lot for the money and Sennheiser is never going to be bad.
Good enough, only you can decide - ideally with an easy option to return anything that you purchase, just in case.
