So I've been thinking about upgrading from my motherboard sound to a discrete sound card. I haven't been keeping up with the latest in sound cards and am now debating what to get.
So far I've been thinking about a Xonar http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829132010
or a Zxr http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829102050
I'm running analog from my sound card-->Onkyo-->Jamo and will also be connecting my ATH-M50s periodically. Any recommendations or should I just stick with my motherboard sound? I could go with a cheaper sound card but that burr-brown DAC on the Zxr is very tempting. I also like the fact they are both emi shielded.
Thanks!
PS-Wasn't sure if I should post here or in A/V Theater. If I chose wrong, could a moderator move this thread?
