Hey guys, so I have an Asrock Z87 Extreme 4 motherboard, and recently bought cheap Logitech G230 headphones not for gaming actually, and will soon get good/expesive Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Professional headphones.
My question is how can I get the most out of my motherboard's onboard sound?
I have no idea what any of this means mostly:
It says it has some sort of amp and dac built in? I read everywhere to avoid getting a sound card because they are crap compared to a DAC, but those dacs are too expensive for me (can't spend anymore than 50$ for any extra audio enhancement solution).
So do I need to find a way to connect the S/PDIF output to my headphones? Is that necessary at all? Am I just good enough plugging the Audio-Techinca's to the back of the mobo and get the correct drivers?
