i guess i have a two part question ... first off i am useing my pc onboard sound card it's a 6 chan 3D " cmi 9761a c-media ac97 blah blah blah.. useing the line out of my sound card i have a cable going to my pioneer sa-5200 amp . powering my pair of pioneer cs-63dx's speakers ( 2 speakers only) ..... the way it is set up now its sounds pretty darn good . but i would like to upgrade the sound card to a much better pci one . i am clueless as to what to look for ????
my choice of music is mostly MP3's i have stored on hard drive and also when i listen to online XM satellite . "alot" these days
i have noticed alot of talk about turtle beach sound cards and M-audio and something about 24/96 ? . can anyone tell me what kind of inprovement i will notice with a upgraded sound card over my stock onboard one and what all the numbers mean and what should i be looking for .??
part 2 ... when i listen to my XM satellite onlive via computer i notice that its playing at 64k/bits second . @ wideband setting
is this telling me something or i need to consider when im looking for a new sound card ? i dont know if this matter but i
plan on keeping it a 2 chan. only set up . no 12 speakers no surround sound and no sub .
thanks for your time reading this hope it makes sense ....i feel real stupid about now
