Something many PC gamers don't often do is invest in higher quality sound cards and speakers.
I want to break the mold and be free and soar among the musical notes of yumminess (not a real word I know) , I want high fidelity sound, I want to hear ALL the frequencies!!
...but I don't want to spend a lot of money..
I'm not an audiophile, I'm not 'huge' on sound tech, I only know terms like impedance to do with current and frequency ranges, RMS wattage. Even then I have no idea what is important.
I suppose I'd have to analyse this using mathematical formulas to compare the magnitude of specific values given that Power is proportional to the product of voltage and current.
But I feel lazy and don't want to spend hours studying... so I've come here :3
FOAR ANswers!1
Budget:
$100 - Soundcard
$200-250 - Speakers
I want to get the sound card first, I looked at the Asus Xonar DX but I can't find one on eBay for equal to or less than $100
What's a decent sound card that's on eBay, that's in my budget ?
Also for the speakers I was going to go with some Audioengine bookshelf speakers.
I don't want any sub-woofers (I turn mine off), so 2.0 is sweet for me
Thanks if anyone can help me, if not I will cry..
