Soundcard

[Narrow]

Hi!

 

I am building a new computer(tried for a long time now, but I don't stress about it) and I am wondering, is it really needed to have a soundcard? 

 

Watch the video, I can see that it was released in 2013, have anything changed? I think I will need one, since I have the headsett Astro A50.

Aren't the Astro's wireless? Why would you need a soundcard?

 

And even if they aren't, soundcards don't make much of a difference if your onboard sound solution is even average.

I wouldn't get one, you aren't exactly using studio quality headphones. 

 

Unless you're really particular about having enthusiast grade sound quality, mobo sound will do great.

Astros aren't suitable. You want see that much difference from a normal-good onboard solution and just get an amp+dac.

even if you do need enthusiast sound, a DAC + AMP is the way to go.
