What matters is indeed the implementation and there is no way to predict what motherboard will sound like what. In any case the differences are not usually significant.

I'm interested in a budget Z97 motherboard and trying to figure out the differences between some of the offerings. The most common audio chipsets seem to be Realtek ALC1150, ALC898, and ALC892. Are the differences in these chipsets noticeable on something like a HyperX Cloud headset? Or is the implementation more important (e.g., segregation of the audio components on the mobo)?

i5-4690K@4.5 GHz // Asus Z87-Pro // HyperX Fury 8GB DDR3-1600 // Crucial BX100 250GB // Sapphire Nitro R9 390 // EVGA SuperNOVA 750W G2 // Fractal Design Define S // be quiet! Pure Rock & Pure Wings 2 // BenQ XL2730Z // Corsair Vengeance K70 // Logitech G403 Wireless // Sennheiser HD 598 SE
