I know in general soundcards are always better, however I have seen that the ALC889 is the best by far in the integrated audio department.
 
If I was to get a SC, I would be looking for something like a ASUS Xonar DG.
 
FYI I am using ATH-M50s.
 
Also, thank you for getting me away from headsets... these headphones are amazing
