I need guidance for starting a hybrid system for home theater/working on pc "while the family sleeps deal." New to this as I'm a graphics guy, I do sound editing & animation on my pc - have an Asus P5NSLI board with what I guess a sound card that will fall short in this arena. In addition I watch movies on my separate plasma tv. So how should I start out with audio? I'm not sure where to begin? My ideal is to have wireless cans for versatility between computer and tv usage. What components do I then need? Do I need a receiver and could this be part of a blue ray player? I'm guessing the transmitter is part of the base of the headphones? Also a question about amps: What proper amp do I need to have that would make the expensive cans worth it, yet not blowing my wallet?
I've read some on the usb Fiio E7/E5 amplifiers to use for high end headphones. I want something like the AKG K701, yet they recommend a really good amp. Can this amp hook up to my usb and even to a blue ray player? How about Sennheiser's RS 180 digital wireless system but do I need a receiver/transmitter for this kind of stuff? My budget is approx. $300. Is this a pipedream?
