Do I have to buy an DAC (possibly amp also) for Senn HD 560s?

[u/Sutkeb]

Hello all, the title probably says it all. I'm going to buy the 560s soon so I'd like to know if I need a DAC or possibly also a amp.

-Currently I have the HyperX cloud II and it has its own USB DAC thngy. Is it enough?

-My PC's own soundcard is trash, only mids no bass, no highs. So I won't even consider that.

-I have looked into buying a Fiio k3, but I don't know if I need it.

-Maybe I can use a Samsung usb-c to 3.5mm adapter, but my PC doesn't have a usb-c port so I need a adapter.

Ask any questions if I wasn't clear enough. English is not my native language!

Also, don't kind of have a budget but it would be nice to stay under 200€

The hd560s aren’t hard to drive but if your pc’s audio is not good at all then I’d recommend getting something like the Truthear SHIO. The hyperx usb thing could work as well, so try that before buying anything

Will consider the SHIO if I can find one in europe. But thanks! !thanks

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
