M$ Wireless Racing Wheel technically is a hardware item, since it can be used with Windows.

sorry if this is really OT, but have always been curious what's the use of a home server ? is it just for NAS or do you actually log in as a Virtual Machine ?

moving to a new house soon so thinking about what gadget to get
*
Can do a lot of things with home server. Even powerful enough NAS also can do more things. Centralized storage, file sharing, remote access, backup storage, media server, video encoding, web server, download manager, home automation, security monitoring, DNS sinkhole and DHCP server for Pi hole, among other things.

If move to new house the best is you do wiring for your network cable around the house first so that you have network point around the floors and rooms.

You can definitely tell the difference of the onboard and AE-9 with that headphone. For people with budget gaming headset, better upgrade their cans first before getting a DAC, because I find those on board Realtek ALC1220 quite good already.
*
ALC1220 is a good chip. It can even produce better dynamic range and THD than some external DAC with low quality chip.

Sometimes people find their on board sound not good is actually because of noise and interference due to grounding or other hardware.

I never feel on board sound bad, even now. Off course my current sound card do give better, no any pitching issue and clean sound output.
The only issue I face is my current on board sound do give me some crash issue, a very rare crash where it crash once my PC on the way enter to monitor sleep mode when I playback some song in the background using Tidal or iTunes.

I not sure why and lazy to investigate already since I am using Sound Blaster AE-9 now and disable the on board sound.
AE-9 didn't give me such rare crash issue.

For high impedance device wise will make a drastic differences compare with DAC sound card v/s on board sound without DAC.
*
Maybe software or hardware issue but since you already use other hardware for it no point to check the cause.

Lucky me my 300 ohm headphone no difference whether listen from external DAC or mobo DAC or even from my handphone.

I am using X570 AORUS Elite WIFI MB, this only came with ALC1200 Audio Codec. Not intergrade with ESS 9218/9118 SABRE DAC like X570 AORUS XTREME or X570 AORUS MASTER.

ACL1200 is the DAC chip.
DAC = Digital-to-Analog Converter

ACL is a codec doh.gif same thing as those old school VIA codecs. it still needs a DAC to work.

each mobo audio consists of a codec, a dac and an adc. generally they suckballs unless for example gigabyte x570 that uses an ess sabre. However the realtek ACL still makes the output sucksballs even with a sabre mainly blaming on the software side.

For simplification, else have to talk even about omp-amp.

External dac also need to have usb codecs to run.. However youre not entirely wrong either about certain ALC chips because their lower end will have an integrated dac but they are usually terrible.

Theyre generaly the controllers that prepare the digital signal from the source to be processed by the DAC chips.
*
Some sworn only to use wasapi.

Come to think about it I never heard anyone discuss what is the DAC that's paired with ALC codec, what DAC they got use? And what codec are ess sabre using?

many mobo scrape off the code number of the DAC chips theyre using, or just use the integrated dac that some of the ALC model comes with. Unless if it’s highend then it becomes a marketing tool to publish what dac chip is being used like the gigabyte’s sabre (because high end DAC chips are not cheap), which is paired with an ALC if youre wondering.

infact in the past there are mobo that came with Xfi instead of ALC too..

There are as many controllers as there are DAC chips .. like soundblaster uses their Xfi paired usually with cirrus logic, prodigy commonly use VIA with AKM dacs, a vast amoung of portable usb uses texas intrument’s pcm plug and play controller.. these are the general ones and there are many many more which will be a never ending pairing list.

while a decent onboard is bonus for normal users.... There’s no discussion I suppose because no audio enthusiast will be bothered with onboard especially with all the unknown chips and realtek as the controller. They’ll just look externally for the specs they want.

If ALC already have DAC with it, what's the point to use another DAC but scrape off the DAC info.

ESS Sabre DAC are actually using ALC codec? That's shocking. But their 9038 DAC got high praise, so having ALC as their DAC codecs is a good thing?
