Hey all,
I've been looking into ways to improve my computer audio, but as I'm not too versed in this area, I was wondering if I could get some advice.
Currently I have been looking at:
A GameCon 780. Seems to provide very decent sound and virtual surround effects according to the multiple reviews out there. Main advantages seem the decent build quality, plug-and-play capability, and virtual 7.1 without needing a dedicated sound card. I'm a little unsure about USB connectivity, though; would this lead to possible sound delay/lower quality of audio?
The second idea of pairing a GameCon 380 with a ASUS Xonar DGX. The GameCom 380 seems nearly identical, but with slightly cheaper build and uses 3.5mm jack and from what I have read on TPU, the Xonar DGX seems like a good all-rounder and should provide directional sound, i.e. virtual 5.1?
Both are roughly the same price. What would be the best option mainly for games, music and the occasional movie? Is there better options? Any and all recommendations are welcome.
Cheers.
