I can't test them at home, I have to pick one and live with it, I live in Brazil so I have to import things like that from USA, because it's not available here =( The Lyr 2 is $450, the Valhalla 2 is $350 though, also I've seen in some discussions that the Magni would fit better with the HD650 than the Vali, so... I don't know. If I buy a expensive amp like the Lyr or Valhalla am I going to need a DAC too? Or the DAC of the motherboard is good for it?

Quick question: equalizers used to increase sound volume worsens the quality of the sound?

What about this amp used on my motherboard? --> LM4562 | Audio Operational Amplifier | Operational Amplifier (Op Amp) | Description & parametrics Also, I heard that the Bottlehead Crack is a "perfect choice for HD650", is this true? Also, it is 3 times the price of the Magni, do you think it is worth it?

Hmm, I got the A200p because of some reviews... now with some people saying it is not that good Im planning to sell it =(

Got it, thanks. Well, as I said, Im a noob when it comes to audio, but I do know PC hardware, this is the best ddr3 motherboard for sale, so if there is exceptions, that would be one.

Not planning on buying new DACs or amps, at least for now, just want to know which would be better, the A200p or the motherboard's DAC and Amp that I mentioned?

What about the DAC and Amp of my motherboard that I mentioned earlier?

Actually, according to many reviews, the A200p is one of the best portable dac/amps for HD650, that's why I bought it. The motherboard dac/amp is not USB though, it uses the 3.5mm plug.

Just want to know which dac/amp is better. The CS4398 is 24/192 while the a200p's is 24/96. The a200p sounds louder, but I have the impression that the sound of the motherboard has a bit more of details, I could be wrong though, because Im not an expert when it comes to audio... Thats why I want to know which one of these dac/amps is better...

Need the help of someone who knows about DAC and Amps, please... I have a Sennheiser HD650, and to drive it I got the well known Beyerdynamic A200p and, in my computer, a Motherboard which has the following specifications of audio (see the image below). As you can see, it uses Cirrus Logic CS4398 as a DAC and a Texas Instruments LM4562 as an amp... Question is: which one should give me a better sound with the HD650, the A200P or the Motherboard? (yes, Im too noob to hear the difference for myself). Thank you.
