Hi guys
I'm looking to upgrade the sound on my PC...I've just upgraded my mobo/processor and was using an ASUS Xonar DG in my old pc, which now does not fit on this mobo (PCI vs PCIe) and my GFX card partially obstructs the PCI slot.
I use my PC a lot for music and some gaming, and the on-board sound is not the greatest right now. I'm using oldish Logitech X 530's and have a 10 inch car sub driven by a 250W Lightening Audio amp, and am thinking of buying some decent 6" car speakers and ditching the X 530's.
I frequently use my headphones when the family gets the sh*ts with the windows rattling while they're trying to study/watch TV, but the onboard sound card does nothing for the headphones..
So, I think my best bet here is a USB sound card or a some sort of DAC? I'm seriously considering the ASUS Xonar U7
or a Dragonfly DAC, both of which seem to be hens teeth here
Any comments or suggestions where I could look?
Cheers

hence my need for a "outboard" USB type sound-card.
