hi all I have a creative soundblaster zx with some Logitech z500 5.1 speakers and a pair of sennheiser pc360 headset and a pair of beyerdynamic DT770 pro 80hm headphones.
I'm reading things that say I should ditch the sound card and use external dac/amp via usb so is this right ?
I use my pc mostly for gaming like Battlefield 3 and 4 and project cars and I usually listen to music via youtube so what is the best solution without spending a fortune. I have a friend in the same position but his sound card has gone and now using onboard sound and he doesn't want to spend more than about £70 but I don't mind going upto about £150 maybe £200 (we both need to use the mic).
any help please would be great.
