Is there much hiss in the output of this soundcard (using headphones)?
Will there be less hiss then in my Realtek onboard soundcard?

Is the sound clearer then my onboard card or is it as well affected by all those power circuits in the PC?


Will I be able to notice any changes in the SQ using my Logitech Z4 speakers (ueing FLAC).

There shouldn't be hiss att all.

Sound should be clean but, there have been reported issues w/ certain PCIe/SLI/nForce4 motherboards/setups which produces audible issues (popping/crackling).

Is there huge SQ difference between onboard audio and XM when using Z4 speakers depends on the quallity of those speakers.
