I think you can remove even that hard return. The way Windows renders it it seems there's a lot of white space above the symbol in the character itself. But maybe you should leave it as it just in case. Still, it's better

Do you need a headphone amp? What will you be listening to. If on your computer what sound card. If not on your computer what will they be plugged into?

you'll be fine without an amp
you don't want to put anything else between your source / amp and your headphones... Like another amp

What you recommend for a sound card if you were using a PC. I've got a SB Live Music which outputs good sound for the most part. But I've thought of changing over to an Auzentech or Asus sound card just for the native 1/8 in headphone jacks.

The one built in is fine. If you really care you would buy a DAC and then a headphone amp.

What about the asus Xonar series of cards? They have supposedly fairly good DACs, upgradeable opamps, built in headphone amp (yes I know you said you don't need this for the AKGs) etc...

I prefer modular. Plus you don't have to deal with bullshit drivers. Anyway I won't buy anything that's not OS X compatible. USB is easier

Gigabyte X58A-UD3R?

Yeah but I don't use its on board sound. I use a SB Audigy Music.
