 For some reason I left out the second part of my original post. Would I be better off getting something like the Onkyo 805 that will drive a 4 ohm load instead of the seperates? I hesitate to spend on an AVR because I don't think it will sound any better than my soundcard. The card has a strong 24/192 DAC and I also replaced the opamp with the national 4562 opamp. |
The Onkyo 805 offers a ton of features including the best BurrBrown DACs available that are considered to be very high quality. I doubt that your sound card will do as good a job. The amplification section uses a Push Pull design and has a huge power supply plus all the newest uncompressed audio formats.
I was very surprised as to the quality difference that there was between my older Yamaha RX V995 and the Onkyo 805 it was night and day and considering the Yamaha was there second from the top of the line when I bought it that was surprising.
