Hi,
I'm about to build a new PC, and can't decide if I should just reuse an old Asus Xonar DG soundcard or should I get a new USB-DAC.
I use my soundcard with headphones (AKG701, Audio Technica M50's, Samson SR850), and most of my listening is to music, but I do occasionally dabble in a bit of first person shooters gaming.
I've been reading good things about the AudioEngine D1, does anybody have experience with the Xonar DG and the AudioEngine D1 and could recommend if the D1 is an "upgrade" as compared to the Xonar DG, or they are pretty much on par with each other?
Looking to spend roughly $150-250, so not something too fancy, I was looking at the Asus Essence One, but that's a bit too overkill for my needs.
Thanks in advance.
