Hello,
I recently bought a pair of Sennheiser HD558 and wasn't really impressed about the 3d sound on my onboard Realtek 889a; now I'm looking for an upgrade for it.
I've read positive reviews on the Asus Xonar DG, and really thought about buying it (it's quite cheap anyways), but would like some advice before doing so.
I'm looking for a budget-oriented companion for the 558's, would the Xonar suffice? Or should I invest on a better card (or a DAC?).
Would be the second souncard I'd buy after my reaaally old Soundblaster Live! 5.1, I care more about positional sound than music performance as I usually listen to music on the Hi-fi on my living room.
Thanks!
