Good morning to all

Greetings as I'm new to this side of audio. I would like to request your advise for some recommendations for an audio setup.

- Your rig : Computer CPU / Laptop
- What type of usage: : Gaming & music (70%), Movies etc (30%)
- File format used in your source : FLAC, MP3
- Genre of music you listen to : Considerable to all types except heavy metal
- Headphone/ earphone type : Open or circumaural (Please advise what is the performance difference?)

- Other requirements : A) 5.1 or 7.1 ch
B) Relatively simple equipment setup to handle (for audiophile newbie, no issues studying manuals, details etc)
C) Gaming 3D positioning available

Budget: RM1k and below

Generally i'm looking for a hybrid ish audio setup. Not top notch given my understanding on the limitations between pure audio and gaming headphones so I'm willing to compromise in performance for the required features.

Looking forward to your response.

Thank you

Regards,
Marksman

Go with Audio Technica AD900X and Asus Xonar Essence STX, clean, not too linear sound, big soundstage, crisp sounding and awesome instruments seperation. Or perhaps AKG K612 Pro if you prefer brighter sound presentation and more intimate sound.

Or if you want that has a mic attached to it, Sennheiser G4ME One is a very good choice. Although I would prefer AD900X over G4ME One due to slightly better 3D positioning when gaming. Seperate your budget like RM700 for headphones and RM300 for DAC/soundcard, although if your motherboard has a decent onboard audio, it should be good for now, when have budget for upgrade, go with STX or STX II if got more to spend  notworthy.gif  notworthy.gif
