So, some guy on the BF3 forums was wondering whether he needed a sound card. I said I loved my Asus Xonar DG, and yes, he should get one. Then some random guy said this, "the onboard HD 24 bit sound is better than that crappy ass 30 dollar card. maybe you dodnt have HD onboard sound. a sound...

I know, that's why I used the / sign.

Ok, I've lurked here for a while but decided to finally make an account. I have about ~$415 to spend on a pair of cans and a portable amp. I currently am using a pair of ATH-A700s and an Asus Xonar DG soundcard in my PC. Occasionally I like to chill on the couch listening to my iTouch so a...
