I prefer digital out into an external dac. My computer speakers are 5' tall and run off of tubes...
Sound card or not?
Hi - I'm currently going from the digital out of my E-mu 0404 PCI sound card to my DAC in my home theater system. I'm also using the analog out to my computer speakers. I'm using WASAPI with Foobar, Windows 7.
Since I don't really care about the sound quality from the PC speakers, would I be better off using the digital and analog outs from the motherboard's onboard sound? I would eliminate the step of going to the sound card, and with WASAPI it should still bypass all the Windows stuff.
Thoughts? Thanks!
