If you feel that it is good then just stick with it.

Don't buy sound cards, buy external DAC/Amps only if you need them. If you are using gaming headsets or cheap headphones then no you don't need one.

Im currently using an AMP/DAC with my DT 990's. No complaints, just wondering if there would be any benefit.

If you already have an AMP and DAC? no. If you are plugging the AMP into the oboard, then yes. If you are using analog out from the motherboard, and putting it into the DAC, then pushing it to the AMP, or plugging an AMPDAC unit into the analog out of the onboard, then you are doing it wrong.

 

However, if you have the DAC being used properly as a DAC, then no. A soundcard would be absolutely pointless.
