hello friends

i currently have inbuilt realtek ac'97 card and Altec Lansing Atp3 speakers, i want to improve sq of speakers but cant upgrade atp3 so that leaves me to upgrade my sound card.

my requirements:

budget 2k inr max.

mainly will be used to play music( mp3 files only) no gaming at all.

2.1 chhannel

waiting for your valuable comments.
 
I guess you could look at the Xonar DG which has got generally positive comments
 
Xonar dg ...eyes closed...its a great entry level card and is a huge upgrade from on board sound...it has a headphone amp which is very rare in that price range cards....go for it and enjoy ur music

cheers
 
all basic addon sound cards will have 5.1 compatibility.

its just that your speaker will be better complemented with a xonar DG.
 
guys are you sure that i hear the difference? because my speakers are pretty basic and play mp3 files only.
 
most definitely u will ...its like day and night ! clarity and detail r wat sound cards r for...u will hear things u ve never heard b4 in ur mp3's
 
You will hear a difference. A lot of it. Go for the Xonar DG, or if you can get a uDAC for around 2 - 2.5k, that can also be considered.
 
Asus Xonar DG without doubt for just 1.7k you will get much better SQ (with 5.1 support) and an awesome headphone amp.
