Better sound card?

[JamTheManZ]

So I'm making a custom build and in short the motherboard is a MSI Big Bang - XPower II XL ATX LGA2011 Motherboard, and the sound card is a Asus Xonar Essence STX 24-bit 192 KHz Sound Card.

My question is, is there a better sound card that will work for my motherboard?
Thanks.

Get a Creative Recon 3d soundcard, It has a quad core sound procesor and therefore takes a load of the cpu witch means you get better fps in games due to more processing power

The only thing that really rivals it is a claro halo but that mobo has no pci. They are both really good so doesn't matter even if you could choose.
