Hello, I am purchasing the Asus Z97 Maximus Hero, and I am wondering if the Asus Xonar Phoebus (which I own) will provide better sound than the oboard SupremeFX audio?
I remember JJ saying that the on Board sound on the Formula series is equivalent to the $89 Xonar solution. Don't recall exactly on the Hero but IIRC, it was the equivalent of the $49 Xonar. Another forum member said it was a custom version of the Realtek 1150.\
Should be aware of this tho..... this bug apparently also affecting Z97 boards if ya look at newegg customer reviews.
