I'm looking for a soundcard that's basically better than my MOBO audio. I have a pair of Studio headphones, and I'd like to use them to it's potential. What are some of the best soundcards at certain price points?
The card I'm using is Asus Xonar D2 (PCI version), and there is also PCI-E version called Xonar D2X. They are much cheaper than Essence, and still pack quite a punch. Very clear sound, no EMI. Replaceable opamps.
