Xonar D1 and old JVC stereo system - Overclock.net

Hammer92 · 07-05-09

Hello this is my first post on this forum I hope anyone Can help in resolving my problems. Last time sound from my computer isn't suprising me (current card is ALC888) so I'm preparing to buy sound card I guess it will be Xonar D1 or SB X-fi Gamer ( I dont know which is better). One problem is that I have old stereo system JVC MX-D301T with speakers SP-D301 Photo: http://kopochsalj.eniro.se/images/80...1_76425big.jpg and specs:
* 12cm Woofer Cone
* 5cm Tweeter Cone
* 4 Ohms Impedance
* 50-20,000 hz Frequency Range
* 2 x Way Bass Reflex Speakers
I don't think it is bad system but I don't know something and I need advice so. Is it worth to buy Xonar D1 or X-fi Gamer to this stereo system ? Will I see a difference between onboard sound and Xonar ? A reason why I want to change sound card is that sound is boring and poor when I'm listening to music like Rock/Metal ore something similar to it. But please I need and subjective opinion. Generally I'm listening to music in MP3 format but sometimes I like to play games.Card must work correctly on Windows 7
Btw. sorry for my language mistakes I'm not from english speaking country

Thanks for your reply, I have already connected stereo to my computer through AUX. One more question- Will it work on Windows 7 RC correctly ?

What about Creative Sound Blaster X-fi Gamer ? It is cheaper than Xonar D1 maybe it will be better choice ? Someone on another forum said that "there is no difference in sound quality between onboard sound and dedicated sound card when you are listening to mp3 files" is it true or not ?

With that stereo don't expect to be blown away with the difference IMO. I really wouldn't even bother.

What about SPDIF connection ? What do I need to connect sound through it ? I have MSI P43 Neo-F Motherboard. In user manual is something about "Spdif Bracket".

I'd put the money towards a better playback system.
