Will a soundcard help with my Logitech G930's?

[FatalBurrito]

I have a pair of Logitech g930's and I was wondering if a dedicated sound card in my system, something like a Asus Xonar DG would help at all with a USB headset . Thanks

Nope, USB headsets won't use your sound card. That's the big issue with USB headsets, they only use what they have built into them so you will never see an improvement in sound.

thor220 is right, if you want to use your sound card properly, you have to use the 3.5 mm jack.

This is the problem with most gaming headsets, they use USB and have their own built in DAC. Usually it pretty terrible but I guess if you're a console gamer it's an upgrade. Console players cannot upgrade their sound card so that's the only reason I can see for it.
