Currently I'm listening only through the on-board sound of my Gigabye EP45-UD3P motherboard, which includes a Realtek ALC889A chipset.
I wanted to step up to the warmer, richer sound that's offered with a DAC and Amplifier, and with the amount of listening I do, was considering dropping $175 on this card. Is this the best setup for my HD 280's or would I be better off with some other kind of configuration?
I can't really tell you what specific genres I'm into because I'm the kind of person who can go for anything from Electronica to Jazz to Latin.
My other mini-question is, will that will that sound card go out of style, grow obsolete, and be worth $15 on eBay 3 years from now like most computer hardware?
Thank you
