QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Mar 27 2014, 06:08 PM) Hi, I just wondering why you want to upgrade your sound card? IMO, the most important thing is the speaker it self. RM 700 can get you better and newer speaker. because i feel that a better sound card can result in better sound quality coming out from my speaker ( maybe i m wrong, please correct me). if i change better speaker, i have to spend more money, because i need to buy a new one + better sound card right? since better speaker should have a good sound card to pair with , am i right ? thank dude

QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Mar 27 2014, 08:07 PM) Hi mate, Well you are right but... I don't know how to tell you.  All I can say is usually improvement for upgrading source (DAC) will not be significant as getting better speaker. How much is the sound improvement you expect buddy? If I were you, I just will recycle the sound card and get a better speaker. I just use UD100 or Aune T1 DAC for my all speakers. Compared to my stock soundcard, they indeed better but they're not significant like changing speaker. My speakers path: Sensonic F7> Corsair SP2500> R1900Tiii And of course each newer path are better than previous path, according to my ear and needs. alright, i got your point ady ~ better to upgrade speaker than sound card, since the improvement u can get from the money spent on speaker is more identifiable than sound card.. thank you for your input.  u r so pro dude .
