I was looking for better sound cards than my sblive value to drive the grado 325.
the audiophile 2496 and DMX 6 fire seem to be some of the good 24/96 cards that most people recommend here.
The 6Fire has better alround functionality ie games (eax, a3d support) and breakout box etc.
Has anyone compared the sound quality of these 2 cards?
Also the DMX headphone jack is amplified (60 mw) but is it comparable (not in terms of output power but sound) to any dedicated amps?
Are these cards in the same league as good mid fi players like Denon 370 or Marantz 6000SE?
i was wondering whether to get an amp (i havent listened to any amp so far) or change the soundcard first.
cheers
