Hello this is my first post on this forum I hope anyone Can help in resolving my problems. Last time sound from my computer isn't suprising me (current card is ALC888) so I'm preparing to buy sound card I guess it will be Xonar D1 or SB X-fi Gamer ( I dont know which is better). One problem is that I have old stereo system JVC MX-D301T with speakers SP-D301 Photo: http://kopochsalj.eniro.se/images/80...1_76425big.jpg and specs:
Speakers

I don't think it is bad system but I don't know something and I need advice so. Is it worth to buy Xonar D1 or X-fi Gamer to this stereo system ? Will I see a difference between onboard sound and Xonar ? A reason why I want to change sound card is that sound is boring and poor when I'm listening to music like Rock/Metal ore something similar to it. But please I need and subjective opinion. Generally I'm listening to music in MP3 format but sometimes I like to play games.Card must work correctly on Windows 7

I wanted to buy Genius SP-HF2000X speakers, and using ALC888 maybe it will take better effect than buying Xonar D1 ?

Btw. sorry for my language mistakes I'm not from english speaking country

Xonar D1 has significantly better SNR and THDN over a Xtreme Gamer, not to mention ALC888.

You JVC is old maybe but you should still be able hear the difference.
