Motherboard SDIF Output Or Soundcard

+1 gdhal.
I, too use either USB or Spdif and output to a Schiit DAC.
One upgrade it did recently was to get Fidelizer Pro. It really made the sound reproduction much better.

I think you should try a Schiit DAC. They have a trial period, so all you would be out is shipping costs. Great performance at a low price point.
If you do, I would love to hear what you think.

Yes, Joe, they are an interesting company. Though I don't understand their rationale for not providing information regarding the sound qualities of their different models. After all, if they are doing something between models there must be a reason-hopefully, something that relates to increased sound definition.
In any case, I own the Bifrost Multibit and the Modi Multibit, I am very happy with both. I really can't see how much better the more expensive models could be, but I wouldn't doubt it. 
Now if I can just find a used Yggy...

Audioman, do you notice a significant difference using the Wyrd?
