    Depends on what you want to pay, how you want it to connect, and what you'll use it for(just out put, or in put, or headphones). Then theres always which headphones you'll use it with. If you'll use it as a dac which is hooked to an amp. Theres so many variables and so many different cards. You need to give us more of an idea of what your after so we know what to suggest. ;)

    Okay, um well the way to connect doesnt really matter. will be using it for music, games and movies. Will be using some earphones on them. may or may not be attaching speakers. Don't want it to use up cpu cycles. Want it to increase game performance. Want it to actually make a difference.
