PCIe Sound Card Help

[pudewercslla]

I am undecided on which one of these sound cards I should purchase, I have a limited choice due to my Motherboard. I would like to know what you experts have to say.

HT Omega eClaro 24-bit 192 KHz
"or"
Asus Xonar Essence STX 24-bit 192 KHz Sound Card

Any Help Would Be Greatly Appreciated,

Sound cards aren't worth the money to me when what's on the board is perfectly fine. Close I trend to buy better boards... Just my 2 cents

Hello friend! The Asus sound card has been greatly recommended for a budget sound card by another forum that I frequent.

Hope that helps

Unless you are audio editor/creator/ musician, why would you need audio card? The ones that come in mobo is good.
