Ok. So basically, I'm about to build another PC and I think I have all the specs I want down except I have no clue what the best price-to-sound ratio soundcard would be. I'm stuck between getting the asus xonar essence, and the creative soundblaster z(x).
I hear the asus has better sound quality but I really like the look of the soundblaster audio control module thingy. It seems super convenient and I'm worried that with the asus, I won't be able to get a good direct connection to the soundcard through just the normal case.
Does anyone have any suggestions on nice soundcards for gaming and music in general? Or should I go with an external amp/DAC? I was also looking at the O2+ODAC as a possibility
