alc892 vs asus strix soar 7.1 ?

[EOZ]

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.

It's strictly for 2.1 audio system. I'm using headsets not so much.

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.
