In search for an AMP for my GSP500

Hello, I am about to buy a new PC,
Previously I owned the PC360 + ASUS Phoebus SOLO and the sound was amazing,

I currently have a brand new unopened (still) Sennheiser GSP500 , A GSX-1000, and Schiit HEL

(I'll probably sell the GSX-1000 either way.)

Right now I'm torn between 2 things ;
-Should I keep the Schiit HEL & use it with the GSP500?
Or
-Should I get the ASUS STRIX RAID DLX (which I planned to) and use it with the GSP500?
**

Or should I get the STX II over the RAID DLX ?
Appreciate your help in advance

well a dedicated soundcard includes both an AMP (up to 600 ohms if I recall correctly) + works as a DAC, isnt it better than external devices such as the HEL?

as I've previously stated I used PHOEBUS SOLO + PC360 since late 2013 (Windows 7) up until late 2021 and the quality was amazing

what's better in your opinion quality wise? powering the GSP500 with the HEL or Im better off buying the Asus's RAID DLX ?
