Is it worth to upgrade from ALC892 onboard audio to Asus Strix Soar 7.1 Sound Card ?

 

Just for better overall sound quality.

While you do get better audio, it's both more economical and better performing to just get a dac and amp for your headset in some cases. The strix raid dlx is $42 at fry's electronics today though, so that may be some value there.

Through 3.5mm audio jack. 

then you can go either way. Like I said the strix raid dlx is $42 at fry's electronics today so that would be the most cost effective method today, however a dac/amp would get the same results + be really well made for the time you possibly upgrade to a headset.
