But if they are, then this is an area where the 1150 isn't able to use the full range available to the headphones. Xonar DGX: These Realtek numbers don't seem correct, but I couldn't find otherwise.

Realtek 1150: 40 Hz – 15 kHz,dB +0.02, -0.07 (not sure how to interpret this) > Realtek is more than good enough for my headphones? Realtek 1150: All I've found is a forum comment which said the Realtek has 2 Ohm output impedance, which is 1/16th that of the headphones. Headphones impedance: 32ohms (Samson SR850) Xonar DGX: 100db (headphones) or 105db (speakers) My onboard audio is Realtek ALC1150 (Sabertooth Z87 mobo).Īfter a bunch of reading, I'm happy to buy the Xonar DXG (because it's cheap and PCI-E with generally glowing reviews.)īut the question gnawing at me is: *why* will this Xonar be a step-up from the onboard audio? I think the following factors are the big ones, please let me know what categories I've missed. I don't have the surround speakers yet, but when I get them they will be sub $200. I will be alternating between 5.1 surround & Samson SR850 headphones (using the headphones slightly more often.) I just built a Win8 cpu and will use it for 50% games, 50% music. Hi everyone, total noob here but I've been reading audio threads on this site & others for a few days so I can try to ask an intelligent question.I will give you my scenario and am hoping somebody can give an answer which helps me understand a bit deeper than "sound card beats onboard audio every time".
