Please log in for more thread options and was wondering whether it would be worth upgrading my sound card to improve sound quality even further. My current sound card is a Creative Soundblaster Audigy (not sure of an exact model name though). Would upgrading to a card less than =A360 produce a noticeable improvement? | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options transistors as your Audigy and sounds far better. More life-like and accurate tonally. -- DaveW ---------------- I've recently bought a set of Logitech Z-2300 2.1 speakers for my pc and was wondering whether it would be worth upgrading my sound card to improve sound quality even further. My current sound card is a Creative Soundblaster Audigy (not sure of an exact model name though). Would upgrading to a card less than £60 produce a noticeable improvement? | ||||||||||||||||

Transistors aren't there for life-like or accurate, they're for digital mutilation and games processing purposes. | ||||||||||||||||

You won't like my answer, but, the next improvement would be to replace those speakers. Your current sound card plus reasonably good bookshelf speakers will sound better than those speakers and the best sound card. Tiny computer satellite speakers may be trendy but they can't compete in actual sound quality, they lose too much lower midrange clarity. That doesn't necessarily mean everyone likes their system to sound the same though, it could randomly happen that this sound signature is exactly what you were looking for and if so, I'd think the Audigy is good enough that a replacement would have minimal further benefit. | ||||||||||||||||
