Hi Guys,
This is my first post on the forum. Request your expert opinion on buying a souncard.
My Computer setup:
Processor: i7 920
Motherboard : Gigabyte X58-UD3R
Graphics Card: ATI Radeon 5850
RAM: 6 GBs
I mainly use my PC for watching HD movies in .MKV format with either AC3/DTS enconding.
My pc is currently connected to a Pioneer AVR VSX-RS320K
Speaker Config: 5.1
I am planning to buy a Asus Xonar D2X soundcard.
I wanted to know if this will enhance the quality of sound being output via AVR.
I usually do not bit stream audio.
And use the 5.1 option under VLC players audio options.
The AVR is connected to the onboard soundcard using an RCA SPDIF cable.
I can use optical aswell if it improves the quality of sound.
Thanks
