Anything Xonar.

 

Good idea, if 30 ohm output impedance were desirable.

Logan is TekSyndicate right? I remember watching that video and there was definitely some questionable "facts" and statements that were given in that video.

 

I assume that the OP is aware that under normal circumstances you don't need a sound card. I assume his onboard is gone or something and I stick with my (and Linus') recommendation of anything Xonar.

Linus doesn't blindly recommend Xonar cards anymore.

Something Fiio anyway.  A bit more money I'd be looking at something similar to the Monoprice desktop amp/dac.

System: i5 6600K@3.6 GHz, Gigabyte Z170XP SLI, 2x8 Corsair DDR 3000, Corsair Hydro H60i cooler, Rosewill CAPSTONE 750w Gold PSU, 1x 512GB SSD, 1x 2TB 7200RPM, Windows 10 Pro x64
Display: XFX R9 390 DD, triple 1920x1200 24" HP monitors (5760x1200 @ 60Hz)   Sound: Audio-gd NFB-11 -> AKG K7XX or 2.1 speaker system

Monoprice would be great, much more headroom for demanding headphones than the E10.
