I've been looking around on the web for 3 days now trying to figure this out and I can't seem to find an answer so I'm sure it's simple for someone who actually knows about home studios would be able to answer. My goal is to have a simple home studio with headphones, mic, daw, midi keyboard, and speakers. The issue I'm having is if I have an audio interface is there a need for dac+amp? I bought a pair of 600ohm headphones and to power them I ordered Magni3+Modi Uber from Schiit audio. Now I'm finding out I'll need an audio interface for my mic and I noticed I can just plug my headphones into the audio interface. I'm aware I could use less sensitive headphones with the audio interface like one with 250ohm, but it's a little late because I already have the headphones. I've read that keeping the headphones on a dedicated amp is the way to go, however I don't know if that means I can ditch the dac for the audio interface. I ordered the amp and dac from Schiit Audio about 2 weeks ago and they've yet to ship the items or charge me. So if someone could help out it would be highly appreciated because I cannot seem to figure out what part of the conversation I'm missing without being informed directly.
