hey
i am currently in the process of building a new PC, and i currently have an M-Audio 2496 soundcard in my possession, which i think is pretty damn good, but would it sound better in my new setup to get a DAC seeings as I have an s/pdif out from my mobo and feel it in to that? my budget for the DAC would probably be £70 max - at this price point would i notice a big difference?
my current setup is a Rotel RA04 connected to a pair of KEF Celeste IIIs via some Chord Carnival speaker cable.
