Ad700x and Creative Sound Blaster Omni
Do you think this is a good combo? I'm going to be using this entirely for gaming (fortnite sadly). External sound card as I have a laptop. Going to be ordering from us as its cheaper. Do I need the 5.1 or can the ad700x perform without it? I'm open to suggestions- immayeet
