Hello,
I am looking to acquire a sound card. I have been using the Schiit Modi/mani combo for the past few years with the Audio Technica AD-700X, AKG K712 Pro, V-Moda Crossfade M-100 and Sony MDR MA900.
So I am considering 3 cards from the most expensive to the least expensive:
1) Asus Xonar Essence STX II 7.1
2) Asus Strix Raid DLX
3) Creative sound Blaster X AE-5
My use is 70% gaming and 30% music. I dont consider myself an audiophile but I like to have good sound quality.
I have a flexible budget but I dont want to get the most expensive ones if they are over-killed for my use.
Could you please tell me which one would be most appropriate for my usage?
Thank you very much for your help
