For my new rig I was considering a Xonar Essence STX to connect to my Logitech Z-5500's. I was going to ditch the optical cable I have running between my current card and speakers, and let the STX do the work and just run stereo cables to the computer speakers. I was told that would improve SQ.
Now I'm considering getting a DAC, AMP, and some bookshelf speakers.
If I go that route, will a 'quality' sound card even be required? I figured I would just run whatever 1's and 0's to the DAC, let it do it's thing, and that's that.
Ideas?
