Stick with onboard?

I recently built a new system with an MSI 785-e53 motherboard. It has some 8 channel realtek audio chipset and claims true 24-bit / 192 kHz output and blue-ray support. I don't have a fancy audio setup - just a 2.1 system using a Logitech z-2300s and sometimes headphones when gaming.

I was using a XiFi xtreme gamer (one of the earlier ones) with my previous system and was pretty happy with it. I needed it on that because the onboard on my asus MB had all sorts of interference problems.

So far the MSI sounds pretty decent - though I once got a strange static feedback after it had been idling for a while.

Would I see any real benefit to upgrading to a separate sound-card? (Other than perhaps some headphone 3d effects, which I did like with the xi-fi when gaming).
 
I'd def stick to what you have onboard already...on board sound has really come up in quality over the past couple of years.
