I'm having some issues with my onboard sound and I did some research on the web and for what i understand I need a dac like the modi 2 which, is this any good to drive the HD 598? Is it better than my Asus Z370 realtek s1220a soundboard (it has an amp I think) ? But like I said I'm having issues and tbh idk if the problem is the HD 598 or the motherboard, it's really annoying hear pops or static sounds while I'm listening music or gaming/discord etc Sadly I can't test on my LG g3 because it's not a decent device to test with I believe, tomorrow I might test on other computer with the basic realtek acl 888
Anyways I heard the modi 2 has problems with usb esolation, I'm afraid I need something with great quality and reliable to power my HD 598 with no static or pops, but my second question is, do I really need an amp as well or a simple dac like the modi 2 is enough?
Any advices?
Ps: I will test with different drivers just to make sure it's not a software problem.
Tdlr: is a dac enough to power the HD 598 headphones? Which one should I buy?
Cheers
