Ok I've been searching and searching for an answer for this forever. I purchased some 2013 Astro A40's with the mixamp. Have been running them through onboard sound card (Msi z87 g-45) optical cable to mixamp for 2 months. Audio sucks and it does not sound close to 5.1 surround sound. Low frequencies distort really bad. Then i decide to hook it up via analog, coaxial (Green headphone Jack) and oh my god now they sound like the $200 headphones i purchased. My sound manager came up with the option for 5.1 setup and through analog signal. My question is, is this the best setup for ALL HEADPHONES in general to discrete sound cards. And what is the best audio output signal to use. Optical, Spdif, 3.5mm coaxial.....etc.? Im asking because im looking for a new sound card and want to know which audio output is going to give me the best surround sound output for headphones.
