Headphone Rig for PC?


I just downloaded some 24/96 albums from HDtracks and am thinking about the possibility of a nice headphone setup to play them and others off my PC. I am new to this, so what exactly am I going to need, and does anyone have any Sub-$1000 system suggestions? I am running a Vista OS.

Thanks,
Rocky

All you need is a good dac and a headphone amp or a dac with a built in headphone amp.

Benchmark Dac 1 with USB is perfect for you because it also have a very good headphone jack. I used it with Sennheiser 650 cans and the sound was excellent. A used Benchmark might come in under $1000. THere are probably other brands with headphone jacks and USB for less money.
