Alright I have this motherboard with on board sound: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131615&Tpk=P5KPL%20AM%20epu its not so great. I only can use 2 speakers because of on board sound card limiting me.
I was thinking about getting a new sound card and I am a bit of an audiophile but honestly do not know much about computer audio. The headphones I use on my computer are ATH-ES7 and the speakers I use are LOGITECH X-530 5.1. Is there something better for under 50 dollars or is this the best I can get, note I only need a 5.1 sound card and I know Asus makes a 7.1 for about 20 dollars more then this. I am not brand loyal so whatever brand is fine.
Is the DS version much better btw?
