Hi,
Today I went to my friend's house and he made me try his headphones + soundcard and I was amazed at how heavenly the sound quality was. It made me realize that I really need a soundcard since my motherboard soundcard isn't really good.
His bundle is ASUS Xonar Essence STX Sound Card & Sennheiser HD 555 Headphones but I don't like the fact that there isn't any 3.5mm outputs. I need 3 of them because I have a 5.1 speakers set (Logitech X-540).
So I was wondering, what would be the best soundcard for my needs. Following is a list of what I want, in order of priority.
1) Plug my PS3 through toslink (s/pdf?) with support for 5.1 (dolby decoder?)
2) Headphones amp and a good surround emulation for headphones (with a 6.35mm output)
3) 3x3.5mm output in order to output in my speakers (X-540)
4) I have a midi keyboard controller that I use to play piano, and I would like an ASIO decoder to improve the latency time.
Any suggestion? I don't really care about the price, but I consider that >250$ is starting to get expensive.
Thanks!
