Hello there,
I have MSI GT780DXR with on-board dynaudio sound. I was wondering whether should I get USB soundcard (like Xonar u3 or creative Recon3d - I know, the price difference is significant) for better quality. I know it only give me advantage of 5.1 emulation (like Dolby headphone), but what about overall quality?
It could be that i will not get quality improvement because of the headphones/speakers bottleneck... But if it would, how big of a difference i should expect?
I couldn't find any extensive comparison of such products (maybe the only one being hi-fi forums).
Headphones i use are Sennheiser HD 429, Sennheiser CX685 (rarely using them on laptop - mainly for mp3 player) and have I Logitech speakers Z5500.
:)
