![]() ![]() ![]() I still don’t know what I’ll do when I upgrade this motherboard, as new ones no longer have PCI slots used by the audigy 2. I still remember a time when a certain WoW update (when they switched to new audio path for vista and disabled hardware sound) borked support for this specific card causing in game network lag of several seconds if you had sound going through it, so I had to switch to motherboard’s DAC for about a month. That is something you won’t hear as well on headphones as you will on proper speakers. It’s not just about proper 96khz 24bit support, dynamic range on built in DACs is very audibly worse. But analogue output on it is simply vastly better than any integrated DAC I’ve heard so far. I don’t even use it for postprosessing most of the time because the control unit on the logitech has built in dolby digital pro logic 2, while the card’s software only supports dolby digital EX. I have logitech Z-5500 and I’m yet to find integrated motherboard DAC that would not be very audibly worse than my old SB Audigy 2 which I still drag around.
