pshing 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2007 My computer is currently using build-in sound card and i cant bear with the noise when i listen to music thru my px200. So i am thinking of getting either a better sound card or a DAC. I dont play game so i dont really need those 3D effects. Around $100 budget, which would give a better quality of sound? I dont intend to get anything more than $150, coz i dont think my earpieces can deliever the sound quality the expensive sound card / DAC can produce. Any suggestion are welcome~ =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

loop_ 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2007 (edited) I'm using the china DAC sold by Huangyong. It sounds ok, nothing spectacular but for the price I am very very satisfied. if you don't like hiss this one is very quiet. Can find his post in the classifieds or maybe try headphonehaven where he's a mod. The problem with getting a DAC, is that unless it also comes with a headphone amplifier circuit, you'll need to get another headphone amp, which is what I do atm when I want to use headphones with my laptop. That will cost you, and in that case a soundcard might be cheaper overall. problem with the soundcard is that you still might get a noisy background. Best you go to some place where you can try it.
