Motherboard or Sound Card?

[arthurp123]

I have an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z it comes with SupremeFX X-Fi 2 onboard sound and I also have an ASUS Xonar DX 7.1 Channels 24-bit 192KHz sound card too. Which one is better and should I use it or not.

As far as im aware,the SupremeFX X-Fi 2 isn't actually a real dedicated X-FI chip..just a realtek chip with the X-FI software.

Really the only way would be to try them both,And see what sounds better to you with your Headphones/Speaker setup.

I'm betting the Xonar though,The Xonar series are really good cards even the budget/low end.

This and then some. The Xonar will own.
