Nvidia Gtx 760 HDMI audio out vs Discreet soundcard spdif out

Will i hear a difference, will it be worth the money? Was looking at the creative blaster z card

the 760 wont effect the audio as much, because all the audio processing is on the actual motherboard. what mobo do you have?

Well Im using a onkyo txnr609 in a 7.1 setup and just want to know if using a soundcard would be better. I hear that spdif (optical) doesnt carry 7.1 content while hdmi does and my graphics card can pass dts hd to my reciever while my motherboards audio when using spdif cant it can only send out 5.1 such as regular dolby and dts.
