hello, i found an asus xonar hdav 1.3 not the slim model for around $35 USD i live in argentina so i made the convertion, i think the guy who sold it to me didnt know the real price cause after talking to him through a web page like ebay here in argentina, he actually down price (i think thats how its said i dont speak english to often) the card a bit more, so i bought it and im waiting for it to arrive,  i play video games mostly fps some rpg, simulators etc.  in the multimedia side i like to watch movies a lot and watch tv shows also i like to hear music most of the time with headphones. i have my pc conected to a sony grx80 through rca. the sound quality its pretty good, the thing is, time to time i watch some tv shows (downloaded) and the volume its TOO low, so i have to turn the volume up in the sony device, so i thought on buying a small amp between the pc and the sony device, but i also want it to my headphones so i started looking for a soundcard with headphone amp, and for the price and availability, the best i could find was some xonar dg (aprox $ 126 USD) or some soundblaster audigy for around $60 usd I KNOW its ridiculus but its argentina and we r fucked up and those even dont have amps, and for some reason i found that asus xonar hdav, (if the card have a problem i can have a refound so no problem there :) ).

 ok so thats my situation any opinion if this was a good purchase? im using win 10 and i know there is no driver for it on w10 so i will have to downgrade to w8.1 and im ok with it cause honestly i dont like w10 :P hehe. 

and its a good card for what i want? also my music files are flac :), how deep in all this things u need to be for be avaible to call you an audiophile ? 

Thanks and sorry for the bad english
