I have a pair of Sennheiser HD 558's.
What kind of differences in audio would you expect coming from motherboard HD integrated sound, to a dedicated sound card?

All depends on how good your ears are really and the quality of the replacement soundcard. if you replace the onboard with a $12 card I would expect the only change to be tonal whereas if you replace it with a high end card you might notice richer cleaner sounds than the onboard ... if you have the 'ears' to hear it and the speakers to reproduce it.
