Hi guys,
Lurked around this community every time I see headphones on sale from slickdeals to try to get some good input and finally had a question that
wasn't already answered.
I'm currently running a P67 Asrock fatal1ty Professional series motherboard. As far as the brand goes this board is up there in terms of their personal line-up.
The onboard sound chip its running is THX certified (if that even means anything) and came with trustudio pro software.
Before I had some creative fatal1ty headsets and loved them due to their light weight so movement wouldn't have them fall off my head. When I got the board the audio quality increased
maybe 4 fold due to the trustudio software. I switched to g930s around last year because I couldn't stand headset wires anymore.
Fast forward to now and I just ordered a pair of new hd668b's for 35 shipped (damn good) and am in need of guidance.
Would this board need a sound card and would the difference be noticeable.
I actually have the option of buying a HT omega striker for $20 used but I've read that it sucks as a gaming sound card
I game 95% of the time on my computer. The only time I'll even listen to music is when I'm trying to find some for my phone so I was thinking of getting a DG if its a worthy option.
Strapped for cash atm since I just moved to a bigger house and am trying to help out financially as much as possible to take some of the load off my parents so a DG or the used
HT is probably my only option atm.
edit: didn't read the PM till after I made my first post, hope I'm not in trouble o.o
