Pretty much anything is better than onboard about 75% of the time. If you have a high budget, and you listen to music and movies with headphones, I would get the Xonar STX.

The Xonar DG supports Dolby and I'm sure will provide better headphone sound then the on board.
The Xonar DG will emulate EAX 5.0
Some places sell the Xonar DG with free shipping and no sales tax.

Thanks guys, I decided to buy an ASUS Xonar DX from my local memory express store. I can always return it if I want later if it doesn't perform to my expectations...although that headphone amp on that Xonar DG looks attractive too since I game/play music with headphones alot...
Btw cuad, I use 200$ Bose headphones (noise cancelling too) and 110$ Razer Carcharias headphones (yes I have multiple headphones I am insane lol)
