I have Asus P5B-E Plus motherboard, with onboard ADI AD1988A 7.1 sound.
"The AD1988 family of audio CODECs and SoundMAX® software provides superior HD Audio quality that exceeds Vista Premium performance requirements. The AD1988A and AD1988B have 10 DACs and 6 ADCs, 3 stereo headphone ports, peripheral sensing, jack retasking, microphone array capture, and S/PDIF in and out, making AD1988 the right choice for desktop PC's where performance is the #1 consideration"
"Frequency Response 20 Hz - 24 kHz
Signal to Noise Ratio >94dB
Total Harmonic Distortion 0.01%
Noise Floor 120dB
Play/Record Sampling Rate(s) 7 kHz - 48 kHz
AD/DA Resolution 16 bit "
I'm just using it for MP3s. I am going to order Aego M speakers, and I was wondering if I should get a soundcard as well? Will I notice the difference.
NO surround use, just mp3s.
Any thoughts?
