Should I sell my X-fi Fatality Champion sound card and buy a Xonar Essence ST/STX or just get a dac like a beresford?

these three products have 3 very different purposes.

find out what you need and only 1 option will be left.

in any case. tell us what you are currently unsatisfied with and what you are looking for.

Well I don't play games much anymore and I just ordered some HD 650 headpones and I hear the Xonar is better for music?

I have HD650s and am looking for a DAC cos I'm using realtek integrated...
I do have optical out however, and I have no understanding of how a games soundcard differs from a dedicated DAC apart from the no. of channels and the extra features like CMSS3d which I've been told are gimmicks...
