I have this sound card: Newegg.com - Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional 70SB088600002 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Express x1 Interface Sound Card - Sound Cards
It worked fine for me for over a year now, and is great for gaming. Well I don't game so much anymore and well i recently got an amp, and it seems to be too bright for me. My turntable seems alot more neutral compared to it. So I was wondering if I should get a new card or a DAC?
I was looking at this:
Newegg.com - ASUS Xonar Essence ST 24-bit 192KHz PCI Interface Audio Card - Sound Cards
The Asus ST, but am thinking that I would be wasting my money b/c it has an Amp that I would not use.
Would I be better off getting a DAC and using my current sound cards optical out? What DAC would you recommend around the $200 price?
Thanks for the help!
