BUMP

Turns out i don't have a sound card, it's on-board audio.

Hmm, I tried connecting them to an mp3 player and they did play better. There was a pretty big difference, so I'm guessing it's my soundcard. As for what roob said, It would be wiser to get a DAC instead of a new sound card? I'd like peoples opinions who actually have had experience with this...

So i just received them and well i like them but I didn't get really .. well what was the word.. i expected more. I really think my crap sound card is holding them back. I will go out now and buy a new sound card, maybe a creative x-fi HD .. i couldn't find an asus xonar essence stx here so...

Thanks for the reply, it actually really calmed me down.. but now I'm abit more impatient in waiting for it to arrive. As for sound cards, if anyone knows a better sound card to recommend, please do share.

Hey, before i start.. I'd like to say hi. This is my first post, and I'm totally aware that this isn't the introduction forums but figured i'd say it anyways :D. Let's get back on topic, I ordered a pair of Alessandro MS-1's yesterday and i was actually wondering about a couple of things...
