I have a HyperX Cloud headset. I'm not disappointed with the sound and I am no audiophile, but I do appreciate better sound quality, and I like things that are shiny. I've been looking at sound cards for the past day and I'm not really sure if I should get one or not.
Assuming I do get a good external sound card, I might consider investing in better headphones that can be driven by it. I am looking specifically at the Asus Xonar U7 and the Creative Sound Blaster Omni. I can't use an internal sound card because of my setup.
What I don't know is—do I actually need one? Will the audio quality be substantially better than my Realtek HD on-board audio? What about if I get better headphones from the $200-$250 range and drive them with the card?
Thanks for reading!
