Im looking to build a system using a mini itx motherboard. I want to go with an asus maximus viii impact as it contains an out. an on board sound card. The board also contains an optical S/PDIF so with all this do I really need a dedicated sound card?

So not really required for a gaming/htpc build as the on board sound is good enough?
