So wich one is better and yeah if you got some reviews let me know

Linked the identical audio card.

 

Card 1 = Card 2

 

= both the same.

 

 

tbh they're both probably equal anyway.

Did edit it.

 

What do you think are they good audio cards?

Because im right know thinking if I should go for the ASUS X99 V Extreme with onboard audio.

Or go with a ASUS X99 A or something with this Soundcard

Why not buy DAC and AMP?

[ImBleu]

nowadays sound cards and intergrated sound cards are good enough. unless you have some very high-end audio scrap the sound card. Not to mention you can buy a soundcard for your X99 V Extreme down the road, but you cant trade in your X99-A for a X99 V Extreme when you have the money.

What headphones are you using? I suggest buying better headphones before upgrading the source.

 

If you are new to audio, I suggest reading the audio FAQ at the top of the audio forums.
