Well, one thing that surprised me was that right mark result.  It is literally only 0.7dB from the realtek spec for that chip.   Which strengthens what I said in that other thread that got locked about comparing the specs on DAC/DSP chips directly from the manufacturer and not trusting dodgy/old review sites to tell you what is best.

Settings where exactly the same.

Did you adjust the volume? The amp in the sound card will increase the volume, which may confuse the listener. (ie louder isn't always better, otherwise I'd set volume to 100% all the time)

Need an SPL meter to get the volumes the same for a proper blind test.

I'm sure my xonar dsx is better than the dell onboard audio I had or the garbage VIA chip with bsod-inducing drivers I have now, but I sure wish I knew about the E-10 when I bought it.

Not the same example. OP is crying about how his sound card will give you better audio than current motherboards that come with high end realtek chips. I have a PC from 2005 or 2006 and I'm pretty sure a potato has a better audio solution than it, but with today's technology sound cards are a waste of money.

Jeez, I come back from holiday and the internet exploded!

Basically, I think what many of us here in the audio sub forum and Logan/Mayflower want to do is remind everyone that humans are flawed when it comes to perception. We make bad witnesses in the court room, and also just as bad of a witness to audio.

 

If you goto the Audio FAQ sticky at the top of this subforum there are links provided to more indepth information on how our perception is flawed and how marketing in the audio industry has set up a mythos/gimmicks/even language just to trick us for more profit.

Can almost bet that you're no where near "amazing" unless you're playing for recordings.

That is church. I can move to where you live and play recorder at your church. Also UCLA music program is never talked about. I come from a school where anyone who pursues music ends up in Juilliard. Try harder pls

I'm pretty sure if I wanted to (and if I got off my lazy ass), i'd go to Juilliard too.

You probably wouldn't, but whatever floats your boat buddy. Also you're no where in here: http://www.americanguitarsociety.org/pdf/13-14%20series%20frt-bak.pdf

Did you know I'm going to be the president of the US in 2015?

And those are famous guitarists, you seriously think there is only going to be one person playing the whole time? Dude, it's a society. You get your seat with maybe 15 other people and play one or two pieces...

an external dac is and always will be a better option than a internal sound card. There is just to much stuff in a pc that can cause interference. And also your typical dac is built with much better components than a internal sound card. You only ever see sound cards use cheap electrolytic capacitors where most decent quality dac's will use metalized poly caps and/or ceramic caps.

Prestige/Old Age/Membership =/= Skill

 

If anything, the amount of modesty a person conveys can show more than titles and memberships ever could.

Speaking from experience, the worst musicians I've met are those who are the most full of themselves. True musicians are never satisfied with their level (and they shouldn't be, there is ALWAYS room for improvement). I strongly suggest you lose the attitude, this will make you a better musician and person.
