I see a lot of threads for "best sound card for the money" when I search, but not the best money can buy.
I know all sound cards offer unique details, and budget may not be an issue for me right now, I don't want to throw all my money away trying to find the one I like best, so I am hoping to get some feedback from the community.
My old computer had a ZxR in it which I love because I could go from digital to analogue (my older receiver doesn't have optical in), and I loved the sound options it gave. I use headphones with it most of the time as I like it loud, but still used speakers.
I use my receiver to power my headphones, so whether the soundcard has an amp doesn't matter.
The bass impact the ZxR made was phenomenal, at 45% it wasn't too bloated and gave it a nice punch, and I also really liked the virtual surround.
I'll try to make this short (evidently, I'm not good at that)
So far I narrowed it down to a few:
ASUS STX 1-or-2
HT OMEGA Claro or the Claro XT
Creative ZxR
If anybody has experience with comparing them, or using the ASUS or Claro I would really love feedback. Any input is appreciated
