Should I Buy?

[xRedLizard]

I'm building a gaming pc and i'm with a mobo that haves a good onboard audio solution (Realtek ALC1150 - SupremeFX IV) , and my friend told me to buy a cheaper mobo and get the Asus Xonar DGX.

 

And there comes the question should I buy it/the DGX is good?

[Drown]

Yes the DGX is good and it's better than the integrated audio of the RoG board. It's definitely a good idea to get a cheaper mobo + dedicated sound card, you'll end up with better audio and possilbe economies.

Probably not no, there are other things besides better on board audio. Stick with the supreme FX and skip the sound card.

I can push the budget limit and get the M6H and the Xonar

That sound haves 7.1 surround?

On the RoG? Slick color scheme appart, I don't see much point into paying 60$ more than a regular, Z87 SLI capable motherboard. SupremeFX is a plus, but since you can get better audio with a cheaper motherboard + ~40$ dedicated sound card ..

The DGX is 5.1 and the DSX is 7.1.

Like I said, there are other things on that board that are better than cheaper motherboards (cooling, better components, ect ect).

If you HAVE to buy a sound card, don't spend more than $30. If you spend more than that, get a dedicated headphone amp/dac setup.

Man I just wanna play games like bf4 or ghosts with a nice audio and I will be getting Kraken 7.1 and i thought that I should get a nice soundcard

If you really want nice audio your going to have to spend a decent amount of money, there's no way around.

If you want to do it on a budget and if I were in your shoes I would get a nice mid grade motherboard with decent on board sound (most of them do) buy an AD700x headphone and a modmic or snowflake mic.

Just my .02

Buy a cheaper motherboard and skip the soundcard as well!

I will be getting Kraken 7.1 

 

don't bother with a sound card with that headset.

spend the money on better headphones.
