Might be an audiophile thing? I’ve been debating getting one myself simply because the onboard one is really limited in its abilities
I would not buy PCI audio stuff. Lots of power goes through the motherboard, which makes these prone to RF interference, especially if you have a rig that has high power draw.
Best to buy a external USB dac/amp. Either make sure that your mobo has a separate USB hub from the main ones (which some mobos might label them DAC), or a USB cable that isn't rated for high voltage.
What do you recommend that isn't either bullshit or $1500
Rme babyface is pretty neat. Though it doesn't support linux very well.
That looks like a phone from 2004 and I need like, a headphone jack.
