Default Looking for a new Sound card
I know nothing about sound cards so I need all the help I can get.

Would like to keep it below $200 shipped.

Opened to all brands.

If you mainly use headphones, I'd recommend the HT Omega Claro Halo or the ASUS Xonar Essence STX.

If you want to keep it more open-ended, I'd go for an Auzentech Prelude.
