update: the motherboard on my desktop is sufficient and a DAC would be unlikely to offer any improvement. The motherboard on my le epic gamer laptop is trash.
@binkle now that I say that though it makes me wonder. I have a monitor with digital audio pass through which evidently offers a higher quality sound at least in settings. I wonder if that could work.
@binkle it's just offering higher frequency and bit depth than my native soundcard is offering. Since it's digital passthrough it shouldn't be degraded by anything on my mobo
@RustyCrab one thing you have to respect about audio is that it's one of very few cases where software can actually physically hurt someone (that and flashing/epilepsy)
