You could look at the back of your PC and see if there is an optical port quicker than it would take to post this thread. If your motherboard doesn't have optical then buy a sound card that does.


Oh and to answer your question; yes it supports optical.

Unless you have quality cans or speakers, you will likely not notice much of a difference... but it also depends on what sound card (or onboard CODEC) you have in the first place, which, on the Z77 board I believe is Realtek ALC1189 or something? Its decent. But you wouldn't notice much difference unless you had a good set of cans or speakers as I said above.

No optical audio on Xonar_DX and don't thing you will notice any difference on speakers as are also amplified , you will get better and cleaner signal quality and should not distort as easy
Sound card will help quite a bit on most headphone when are suited best with a amplifier, with entry level motherboards cant power them to there potential

A quick talk to google can point you in a good Direction ...
